MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
January 28, 2015
o Gullies Old and New Near the Argyre Region
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038931_1355
As gullies form on slopes, sediment can become deposited
to form lobe-shaped fans.
o Higher Terrain between Sinai and Solis Plana
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038932_1635
The area is riddled with faults and ridges that look like
uncovered magma dikes.
o Filled Crater and Scallops
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_038967_1230
These scallop formations might be possibly due to ground ice
sublimation.
o Pits in Hale Crater Ejecta
http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_039524_1445
The pits visible here aren't impact craters. The material
they're embedded into is ejecta from a large crater called Hale.
