Layers in Crater along West Rim of Tikhonravov Crater

Layers in Crater along West Rim of Tikhonravov Crater

Layers of an Impact Crater
The objective of this observation is to examine layers in the eroded north wall of a crater. All along this wall, there appear to be layers. The layers are next to the crater floor, so they give us an idea of at what depth these formations can be found. It would be interesting to compare these layers with layers found in other places in Arabia Terra.
