My friend who's in another city showed me these lovely local minerals. Some calcite, chalcopyrite, selenite, gypsum, dolomite, and anhydrite. (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡

This was also very interesting. Any thoughts or knowledges to share? Would appreciate it (from a first year geology student ;))

HiPOD: Crater-Delineating Mounds in Chryse Planitia

Similar HiRISE images of mounds around Chryse Planitia have revealed stunning and complex meter- and decameter-scale stratigraphy, indicative of widespread, regional-scale processes. This mound shares characteristics with those landforms, so is important to document. (Image cutout is less than 5 km across.)
