Gullies in Terra Sirenum (credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona)
This observation shows part of an Unnamed Crater, located inside the much larger Newton Basin, in the Terra Sirenum Region of Mars. 
This Unnamed Crater is approx. 7 Km in diameter (over 4 miles) and some 700 meters (760 yards) deep.
Numerous Gully Systems are visible on the East- and South-facing Walls of the Crater; their characteristics are astonishingly diverse.
This EDM covers an area of nearly 610 x 740 meters (670 x 800 yards). North is up; illumination is from the North-West. 
This EDM depicts several Gullies carved in the South-West-facing Wall of the Crater.

These troughs are extremely rectilinear, lack tributaries, and do not seem to have Terminal Fan Deposits: they terminate rather abruptly, some of them in a spatula-like shape. 
Their characteristics contrast sharply with those of other Gully Systems located elsewhere in this same Crater, which are sinuous, have numerous tributaries, and show distinct Fan Deposits.
