Sedimentary Rocks (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
Caption NASA originale:"Burial and Exhumation of Impact Craters, and their destruction by erosion, are common and repeated themes all over the Surface of Mars. Many Craters in Western Arabia Terra exhibit light-toned, Layered Outcrops of ancient Sedimentary Rock. Like the Sedimentary Rocks explored further to the South in Meridiani Planum by the Opportunity Mars Exploration Rover (MER-B), these "Intracrater Sedimentary Rocks" may have been deposited in water. This MGS-MOC image shows an example of light-toned Sedimentary Rocks outcropping in an Unnamed Crater that is much farther North than most of the similar examples in Western Arabia Terra. This one is located near 36,6 North Lat. and 1,4 West Long. and shows several old Impact Craters in various states of erosion and exhumation from beneath and within the Sedimentary Rock Materials. The image covers an area of approx. 3 Km".
