Eroding Crater Fill (EDM - Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)

This EDM shows several types of Layers exposed in a Pit. These variations point to a relatively complex geologic history at this site.
Some Layers appear to be fracturing into boulders which roll downslope, while others appear relatively smooth. There are also variations in tone, from light to dark. This diversity may be due to different types of rock, as well as varying strength.
Images such as this one indicate that rocks formed on Mars in a variety of ways, and by careful analysis it may be possible to deduce some of the history that has produced the geology at this site.
