These fascinating linear dunes at Meroe Patera were also identified in Context Camera images, which have developed in a sand starved region of the dune field, elongating from behind a scarp.
This is a re-image of an earlier observation we acquired in 2020 to compare changes in shape compared to other linear dunes elsewhere on Mars.
