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.
