Fig. 2: Architectural analysis of Martian channel forms and inclined accretionary surfaces at the Izola outcrop.
From: Sustained fluvial deposition recorded in Mars’ Noachian stratigraphic record
a High-resolution imaging science experiment (HiRISE) image of the studied outcrop (ESP_055357_1540; 25 cm/pixel resolution). Objects down to 77 cm can be resolved. The outcrop is 1500-m-wide and 190-m-thick. Note the different scale between the vertical and horizontal axis (vertically exaggerated). b Line drawing of a to illustrate an architectural interpretation, displayed in c. Line drawings were only attempted in areas where stratigraphy was clearly visible (no lines were joined across areas on non-exposure). The yellow asterisk and hashtag link to Supplementary Figs. S3 and S4, both possible examples of channel wings. Identified fifth-order surfaces are labelled with letters and surface dimensions listed in Table 2. The well-exposed channels are labelled with numbers and their parameters reported in Table 2.
