Features of Juventae Chasma (1)

Caption NASA originale:"This image shows a mound of layered rock within the large depression Juventae Chasma (3,5° South Lat. and 61,9° West Long.) known from data from the Omega spectrometer on the Mars Express mission to have sulfate minerals mixed within it. The clear expression of layering in the CTX image and the potential for correlation with MRO-CRISM hyper-spectral data open the possibility of relating specific beds to specific compositions, indicating the nature of the depositional environment and subsequent alteration".
