Another oldie from my draft folder. I’d like to do a mass deletion of 99% of my unposted drafts.

HiPOD: Mesa Stratigraphy at Terby Crater

A 2 to 3 kilometer sequence of stratigraphy exposed across three mesas in the northeastern portion of Terby Crater likely capture a diverse range of sedimentary rock types that include deposition across all of the three major Martian geologic eras: Noachian, Hesperian and Amazonian. (These epochs date back billions of years.) We can create digital terrain models o measure bedding dips at these key locations. (Enhanced color cutouts are less than 1 km across.)
