Portion of a Ridge in Northwestern Antoniadi Crater on Mars. Also visible in Context Camera data, this observation shows a possible fluvial ridge (also known as an inverted channel) and sediment exposure. It terminates to the east in a sediment fan. The science goal is to inspect sedimentary depositional structures and erosional forms.
