About this work
The sedimentary history of Mars is important to understanding climate change and the evolution of Mars. Sedimentary rocks consist of fine particles carried by the atmosphere and/or water and deposited in generally flat-lying layers, which become indurated (turn into rock) over time. This image covers some steep slopes with good exposures of the bedrock layers, revealing diverse color and textures.
