Viking Mars Digital Image Model mosaic of Elysium and Amazonis planitiae, Mars. The giant shield volcanoes Elysium Mons and Olympus Mons are labeled, as is the Athabasca Valles channel system. The study area depicted in figure 1 of Jaeger et al. (1) is outlined by a black box. The locations of MOC images R , R , and S [and, therefore, of figure 1, F to I, of Page (5)] are indicated by a black star. W. L. Jaeger et al. Science 2008;320:1588c Published by AAAS

Fig. 2. Subsection of HiRISE image PSP_002292_1875 showing two impact craters (A and B) and several RMLs. The gray box indicates the location of figure 1A of Page (5). Subsection of HiRISE image PSP_002292_1875 showing two impact craters (A and B) and several RMLs. The gray box indicates the location of figure 1A of Page (5). The irregular shape of these craters is not indicative of postimpact modification. Rather, it is a characteristic of secondaries formed by the relatively low-velocity, low-energy impact of ejecta from a nearby larger crater, probably Zunil (9). W. L. Jaeger et al.
