PSP_004071_1425_RED_abrowse.jpgMesas in Gorgonum Chaos (CTX Frame - Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team) 89 visitePSP_004071_1425 shows Mesas that are part of Gorgonum Chaos, a Region of Chaotic Terrain, which is a jumble of Mounds and Mesas grouped together. Chaotic Terrain is most commonly found in Mars near the sources of the gigantic Outflow Channels. Gorgonum Chaos is one of the few exceptions.

Some of the Troughs between the Mesas appear to have V-shaped bottoms; there is no obvious flat floor in between. Others have Dunes running down their centers probably indicating flat floors.
It is possible that the Mesas were once connected and that something caused fractures in the original Mesa's Surface that were then preferentially eroded.

ESP_019612_2250_RED_abrowse.jpgMud-Volcanoes (?) in Acidalia Planitia (Absolute Natural Colors; credits for the additional process. and color.: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)104 visiteThis proposed future Mars Landing Site in Acidalia Planitia targets densely occurring Mounds thought to be "Mud Volcanoes".
Mud Volcanoes are geological structures formed when a mixture of gas, liquid and fine-grained rock (or mud) is forced to the Surface from several meters to kilometers underground.

Scientists are targeting these Mud Volcanoes because the sediments, brought from depth, could contain organic materials that might provide evidence for possible past and present microbial life on Mars.
