Terrific view. I see obvious stratification on the left side of the cliff, which seems to die out
near the center of the exposure in some darker rocks; then the stratification reappears on the
right side of the image. Could the darker area be an intrusion, or is it just shadows obscuring the bedding?

Sure looks like there are some darker stratified rocks below the lighter rocks at the rim (those already analyzed at the other craters). I think the darker layers disappear and reappear because of deformation associated with the cratering event and slumping of the lighter material down the crater all over the darker layers.

The views from the rim should be spectacular!

Do you think they can resist a jaunt down to these new units? Could be a one-way trip!
