  This image is part of a proposed landing site for the ExoMars Rover,
  planned for launch in 2018.

o Diverse Deposits in Melas Chasma

  This image includes chaotic deposits with a wide range of colors.

o A Fresh Shallow Valley Transitions to an Inverted Channel

  Inverted channels form when a valley fills with materials.

o Gullies on the Wall of an Unnamed Crater in Utopia Planitia

  The banked, sinuous shape of the gully channels suggest that water
  was involved in their formation.
