MARS RECONNAISSANCE ORBITER HIRISE IMAGES
November 14, 2012

o Possible Phyllosilicate Near Margaritifer Chaos
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028288_1720

  The existence of clay minerals is especially interesting on Mars
  since we want to know under what conditions these minerals formed.
  Could it have been the presence of water?

o Chutes and Flows      
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028321_1785

  Some of the surface material appears to have breached the crater rim
  and flowed into the crater by way of chutes.

o A Streamlined Island in Athabasca Valles      
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028519_1895

  Streamlined islands form by a rapid erosive flow (catastrophic flooding)
  around an obstacle such as a resistant rock outcrop or surface armored
  by impact ejecta.

o Only on Mars  
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028910_0985

  The South Polar terrain of Mars has a landscape unlike anywhere on Earth.
