15 July 2004 The arrows in this Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars
Orbiter Camera (MOC) picture point to three boulders that left trails
behind them as they rolled down the lower parts of a meteor crater's wall.
In two cases, the tracks can be resolved into a series of small
depressions, indicating the variable shape of the boulder as it unevenly
proceeded down the slope. These features are located near 18.4°N, 120.1°W.
The 75 meter scale bar is about 246 feet long. Sunlight illuminates the
scene from the lower left.
