HiPOD 8 Mar 2023: Stratigraphic Relations in Scalloped Terrain

The stereo pair just to the north of this location shows scalloped depressions restricted to ridges that form multi-kilometer sized polygonal patterns. This footprint should capture the transition from the ridges to a more uniform blanket of scallop-hosting material, typical of most of what we see in Utopia Planitia.
