The lower rocks exposed in the Gale Crater central mound are layered. Most layers are of similar thickness and form cliffs of a few to ten meters (a few to 11 yards) height. The picture on the left shows an example of the layers exposed in Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) image M03-01521. The picture on the right is a colored map showing the different layered and massive rock units identified in the Gale Crater mound; the white box indicates the location of the picture on the left. Refer to "Oblique view of Gale Crater Mound," MOC2-265E, December 4, 2000 to see the location of the color map relative to the entire mound.
