9 August 2006
This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows a knob of light-toned, layered rock exposed by erosion in the Iani Chaos region of Mars. Owing to its similarity to other light-toned rock outcrops on Mars, this may be a remnant of a once more extensive sedimentary rock formation.
