  1. Explore Mars’ Gediz Vallis Channel With NASA’s Curiosity Rover (360° View)

    #GedizVallis channel was one of the last features to form on #MountSharp, the base of which #Curiosity has been ascending since 2014. The channel is filled with piles of #boulders and #debris that may have been brought here by debris flows (rapid, wet landslides) or dry avalanches.

  2. Interesting #boulders in a roughly stacked #seawall
    The southern part of the spit separating #Plymouth Harbor from Plymouth Bay has a seawall along the outer shore, above Plymouth #LongBeach. Without knowing where they came from, interpreting the boulders is sketchy. BUT nice coarse crystals in intrusions into #felsic rocks, including big #quartz chunks (top right photo) and blades of #biotite (bottom right).
