Suggest we discuss this here. I submit that the change would bring clarity to the subject, which is important since this is likely to be a relatively high traffic article thanks to the mission of the Curiosity rover. Jus da fax 22:29, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

The first paragraph of the ‘Geology’ section –
/info/en/?search=Gale_(crater) – is rather confusing. It states ‘CRISM data indicated the lower bench unit was composed of interstratified clay and sulfates.’ It then explains the broad stratigraphy of the crater, comprising ‘the Bradbury Group and the overlying Mount Sharp Group’, without explaining whether the ‘lower bench unit’ includes both groups or only the Bradbury Group. The lithological description of the Bradbury Group mentions conglomerates, sandstones and mudstones, without saying anything about clays and sulfates. Clay and sulfate-bearing strata are said to overlie the Murray Formation, which is the lowest formation of the Mount Sharp Group. Does this mean that the strata overlying the Murray Formation are part of the ‘lower bench unit’? It would also help if the article gave the thickness of the different formations, or at least the range of heights at which they outcrop. — Preceding

The mudcracks mentioned at the end of the article are in gale crater as mentioned, but found by CURIOSITY rover JohannesGuenther ( talk) 10:28, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
