Presentation transcript:

Erosion-resistant Polygonal Ridges Latitude/longitude: North, East Rationale: These features are widespread in Gale crater and may be cemented or altered fractures or fracture fill. Morphology and Mineralogy: Polygonal positive-relief erosion- resistant ridges occurring in the sulfate-bearing, yardang-forming portion of the mound. What will the rover specifically do here? Determine whether the ridges are erosion-resistant fractures and study their composition to learn more about the post- depositional environment at Gale. Next Slide
