Tilted and Layered Bedrock Blocks in a Large Crater inside Becquerel Crater
There is a Martian crater nearly 50 kilometers in diameter inside the 167-kilometer Becquerel Crater, named after Antoine Henri Becquerel, the discoverer of radioactivity along with Marie and Pierre Curie.
This image acquired from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on January 26, 2012 shows layered blocks tilted at high angles, diverse color and textures and dark dunes. Some of the bedrock may have originated at great depths, uplifted first by Becquerel Crater and later by the 50-kilometer crater.
