About this work
This image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter shows small ripples, about 10 meters apart, located in Her Desher Vallis. Her Desher is a small channel that shows evidence of phyllosilicates -- silicates with a sheet-like structure, such as clay minerals. Much larger images of this area show that Her Desher Vallis appears isolated, with no obvious connections to craters or larger valleys.
