Space/Science » in reply to Newton Crater, Mars - Recent activity?

Actually, it's called the Newton Basin. Here is another shot

Here is one of the southern portionNewton Basin

In this picture is something I have not seen before- dark dunes meet gullies. Which is the more recent, the dunes or the gullies?. I think the dunes are more recent, but it is hard to tell. (I remember doing something similar in my college geology class. Given a picture of a landscape with several geological events on it, we had to tell the order of each event.)

Note: The gullies in this picture and the pictures in the post above are actually smaller craters in the Newton Basin.
