Mesa Stratigraphy at Terby Crater

Mesa Stratigraphy at Terby Crater

Mesa Stratigraphy at Terby Crater
The 2 to 3 kilometer sequence of stratigraphy exposed across the 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. A digital terrain model will help to measure bedding dips at these key locations.
