MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
November 6, 2013

o Hints of an Ancient Shoreline in Southern Isidis Planitia
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033242_1845

  This area--known as the Deuteronilus contact of the Isidis Basin--
  has been interpreted as a possible ancient shoreline.

o Breached Rim of a Circular Depression
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033243_2165

  This observation shows a partially-filled impact crater with sediment
  flow that has breached the south rim.

o Cratered Cones in Tartarus Montes

  While most craters on Mars are generated by impacts of asteroids and
  comets, another process might have been at play here.

o Dust Covered Channels on Tharsis Tholus
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_033565_1945

  The flanks of Tharsis Tholus are cut by large channels, similar to those
  visible on other Martian shield volcanos like Arsia Mons and Elysium Mons.
