A Ridge on a Crater Floor
Also available in Context Camera data, the objective of this observation is to determine the nature of a narrow, unbranched ridge on the floor of an impact crater. It may be a dike, so it may tell us where mineral deposits may lie. This image is located in the Sinus Sabaeus region, an ancient cratered surface that has been modified by a combination of impact cratering, fluvial, wind, and possible volcanic processes.
