Exposed Layering in Crater Rim

Exposed Layering in Crater Rim

Exposed Layering in a Crater Rim
This observation targets stratigraphy exposed in the rim of a small crater located within a larger heavily degraded crater. The targeted area is located along the edge of a high thermal inertia surface that covers much of the larger crater’s floor. The exposed stratigraphy provides an opportunity to study the material underlying this high thermal inertia surface.
