Figure 9: (a) Portion of MOC image E01/02131 showing a closeup of the westernmost flat-topped area shown in Fig. 5a. The white arrows indicate the topmost strong layer. (b) This schematic illustrates the down-dropped block as seen from the west along the A-A' line (top profile is the surface, straight lines below it represent the dark layer). It shows that the dark layer exposed on the western facing slope has a 420 m long segment that is about 70 m in elevation below the level of the majority of the dark layer. Distances and elevations derived from MOC and MOLA data.
