Layered bedrock has been observed on Mars, at a range of scales from meters in orbital images, to sub-centimeter in Spirit and Opportunity images. These data enable for the first time quantitative analyses of the structural information embedded in the stratigraphic column. Here we review the state of knowledge and present examples from orbital and surface images. New results on the structure of Home Plate (bed dip and strike orientations) as measured by the Spirit Mars Exploration Rover are described. We demonstrate techniques for determining bed geometries from stereo imagery, and interpret the preliminary results. Future applications to stratigraphic problems on Mars are motivated.
