Channels in Jezero Crater Delta (extra-detail mgnf - MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)

This extra-detail mgnf shows a section of one channel in greater detail. Wind-blown dunes or ripples now cover much of the channel floor, but in some places the older channel floor is visible. Here, the channel bed has a layered appearance. The plains outside the channel are fractured into polygonal patterns.
The CRISM instrument has detected water-bearing clay minerals in these plains, which were eroded by flows down the channel.
Clays are also seen in the sediments deposited on the floor of Jezero Crater.
