Psp_009460_1745_red.jpgCeti Mensa (edm - natural colors; credits: Lunexit)54 visiteThis image gives us another clue to the formation of Ceti Mensa. Close-up examination shows fine banding in the layers of Ceti Mensa that is exposed by the ongoing erosion. The banding is produced by alternating bright and dark material. The thickness of the individual bands ranges from a few meters down to the resolution limit of the image, a few tens of centimeters. The bands are parallel, although they appear wavy on the irregular, eroded surface.
The banding visible in this image most closely resembles terrestrial lake deposits and similar rocks formed in aqueous, low energy depositional environments. Structures such as cross-bedding that are hallmarks of wind-deposited sediments are absent, as are cobbles and clasts that are typical of glacial sediments. If this interpretation is correct, the thickness of Ceti Mensa suggests formation in standing bodies of water that were several kilometers deep.MareKromium

Psp_009474_1705_red.jpgWater Bearing Minerals in Noctis Labyrinthus (natural colors; credits: Lunexit)54 visiteNoctis Labyrinthus consists of a series of Pits on the western end of the large Valles Marineris Canyon System.
The HiRISE camera and the CRISM Spectrometer have revealed that the floors of some of these Pits exhibit layered rocks, or strata, that contain minerals with water. These Pits were formed several billion years ago, therefore the rocks and sediments on their floors record evidence of water during this period of Mars’ history.
The walls of the Pits are commonly covered with dust and other loose sediments that form dunes and dune-like forms, and in many cases the floors of the pits are also covered with these materials. This image shows an example of light-toned layers exposed beneath these sediments and dunes, and CRISM data show that these layers have hydrated minerals.
The dark-brown/orange tones in this natural color image correspond to areas with more Pyroxene, a mineral found in volcanic rocks and Martian Dust. Some Pits, such as this one, appear to have deposits associated with large landslides that are younger than the hydrated minerals and partially bury them.MareKromium
