MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
November 9, 2011

o Wrinkle Ridges in Eastern Meridiani Planum
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020705_1845

  This wrinkle ridge crosses through a mound of layered material
  that's been exposed by erosion.

o Light-Toned Layered Rocks in Arabia and East Xanthe Regions
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020705_1845

  One possibility is that the bright terrain used to be covered with
  the darker material which has been stripped off and removed.

o Gullies and Lobate Material in a Crater in the Nereidum Montes
  
  This image includes a crater that has been heavily influenced by
  later geologic processes.

o Lava Coating, Flood-Carved Kasei Valles

  The lava in Kasei Valles only coats the lowermost part of the huge
  valleys and comes from a source between the huge Tharsis volcanoes.
