Rippled Surfaces on a Slope in Coloe Fossae

This observation shows us a set of landforms that appears to form a nested “chevron” pattern on a slope in Coloe Fossae. Interestingly, nearby surfaces on the same slope are all parallel.

 

Further down the image, we see fretted terrain that’s mostly likely the result of glacial processes. The valley floor offers a stark contrast to the upper slopes and its delicate rippled landforms.
