HiRISE: Clays of Ladon Basin
Ladon Basin was a large impact structure that was filled in by the deposits from Ladon Valles, a major ancient river on Mars. These wet sediments were altered into minerals such as various clay minerals. Clays imply chemistry that may … Continue reading

HiRISE image: Bright sediments in Ladon Basin
This image shows some bright layered deposits exposed within a linear trough along the floor of the Ladon Basin. There is a large channel system that flows into the basin, called Ladon Valles, and scientists think that the basin may … Continue reading
