Esker-Like Ring-Shaped Ridges in Peta, Novara and Two Other Unnamed Craters on Mars: Evidences of Ancient Glaciers?
Abstract
We found in Peta, Novara and two other unnamed craters south Meridiani Planum (Mars) ring-shaped ridges that shows morphology and morphometry possibly consistent with terrestrial eskers. On Earth, these latter are deposited by fluvio-glacial systems and are exposed when ices retreat. Further analyses are in progress.
