I was just browsing through some Pics I have and noticed the fine layers in the top photo, and compared it to the bottom photo which was taken on the Great Northern Hwy not far South from
Tom Price T/o. I guess a lot of you have seen it, you won't find the top location,
Although the layers are thinner I find it very interesting considering.

Victoria Crater on Mars Doug. I would say that was taken by the Opportunity Rover. Amazing little rigs to be still going three years after they were due to end their original mission.
Heres the
Mars rovers website.
Cheers. Mick

It's amazing stuff they're finding Doug. I knew
the crater location as I keep a track of all the ESA, Nasa/JPL missions. Wouldn't you love a 4x4 that could offer that level of reliability in the conditions those things are operating in!
Cheers Mick

No idea whether it is the same one. Almost probably not, however there is a layer that looks a bit like that right around the planet that is believed to come from
debris from one of the big meteor impacts.

No it wouldn't be the Victoria Crater , we'll drop back down to our Planet and go to Chicxulub on the Yucatan Peninsula. I read somewhere how a thin layer of ash from the wild fires created have been found in drilling core samples all over the world and all carbon date to around the time frame , 63m years ago, anyhow we better conclude this as it is going a little off topic ,
