Description

15 May 2004
This Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image shows the results of a small landslide off of a hillslope in the Aureum Chaos region of Mars. Mass movement occurred from right (the slope) to left (the lobate feature pointed left). Small dark dots in the landslide area are large boulders. This feature is located near 2.6°S, 24.5°W. This picture covers an area approximately 3 km (1.9 mi) across and is illuminated by sunlight from the left/upper left.
