HiPOD 12 May 2023: Layers of Galle

This observation is an extension of existing coverage of an unusual layered mound in Galle Crater. Imaging of the well-exposed unconformities within the stratigraphy may help indicate modes of deposition. As the layers within this mound are fine-scaled and often subtle, this site will benefit from the highest resolution. Galle is also known as the “happy face crater.”
