Caption: A topographic image shows the experimental fan emerging from the channel and depositing on the crater floor. The experimental mock crater in the image is 1.5 m across. The fan is about 40 cm across. The notches in the fan move down the fan like stair steps. Each distinct step represents an intersection of when the rising shoreline hit the depositing fan surface.
