o Light-Toned Layers in Tithonium Chasma	
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_041886_1755'

  Approximately 800 kilometers long, Tithonium Chasma is part 
  of the massive Valles Marineris canyon system.

o Ridge and Talus in Lycus Sulci

  This image nicely captures several influential geologic processes 
  that have shaped the landscape of Lycus Sulci.

o Yardang-Sculpted Deposits from Apollonaris Patera

  We see here a terrain with an incredible morphologic dichotomy: a 
  relatively smooth region that transitions into sharp ridges.
