HiPOD 12 Jan 2023: Rock Layers Revealed in a Crater Wall
This image covers a small (approximately 3-kilometer wide) crater on the floor of a much larger crater that has been infilled by lava and/or sedimentary materials. The crater wall reveals layers with different colors and textures, providing a cross-section of the large-crater fill.
The bluish rocks are typically unaltered volcanics whereas the lighter-toned rock may have experienced alteration by water.
