Overlapping Landslides in Crater in Margaritifer Terra

Overlapping Landslides in Crater in Margaritifer Terra

Overlapping Landslides
There are multiple overlapping landslides in this crater. The crater is deformed by a large lobate scarp, from which these landslides appear to originate. Studying these landslides and dating them will help better understand the tectonic history of the region, and might provide insights into erosion rates in this area.
