HiRISE image: light-toned deposits along Coprates Chasma slopes
Valles Marineris contains kilometers-thick light-toned layered sedimentary deposits along many of its floors. In this image, similar light-toned layered deposits are observed, except these are found along steeper wallrock slopes in Coprates Chasma. Compositional data from CRISM and also stereo … Continue reading
