Exposure of Layered Sequence in Terby Crater

Exposure of Layered Sequence in Terby Crater

A Layered Sequence in Terby Crater
The western face of this bench has one of the best exposures of layered deposits in Terby Crater. The sequence consists of 4 sub-units within the 2.5 km-thick sequence. This location has many angular unconformities that are not exposed in the same sequence further south. This image will help determine the nature of the deposit and the possible correlation of layers in the same bench to the south.
