Layers and Sinuous Ridges in Crater

Layers and Sinuous Ridges in a Crater
Context Camera data shows flat-lying layers, sinuous ridges, and possible moraines in this crater. HiRISE resolution is needed to test the moraine hypothesis (alternative: deformed layers), and to determine the relative timing between sinuous ridge formation, flat-lying layer deposition, and moraine formation.
