Intersection between Hyblaeus and Elysium Chasmata (EDM n.1 - Saturated Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
A cross-section of Hyblaeus Chasma is visible in this first extra-detail mgnf). 
The chasm seems to be filled with a resistant light-toned layer, about 200 mt thick (likely consisting of cemented windblown sand and dust) forming a mantling unit and overlying more resistant boulder-rich layers. The sand and dust was likely blown into Hyblaeus Chasma after it was formed by tectonic processes, possibly in combination with fluvial processes. 
The chasmata were subsequently broadened by hillslope erosion: boulders are strewn along the top of this dusty mantling unit. Slumping, possibly caused by faulting, along the Southern Wall of Hyblaeus is visible at the intersection with Elysium Chasma.

This image also shows a number of dark streaks along the walls of Elysium Chasma, further to the south.
