Light Toned Deposits in Noctis Labyrinthus

Layers in the lower portion of two neighboring buttes within the Noctis Labyrinthus formation on Mars are visible in this image from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The view covers an area about 1 km wide. Dune fields blanket the ground in the upper left of the image and a portion of the ground between the buttes. Exposures of brighter and darker materials are also visible in the portion of that area not covered by the dunes. ASU-IPF-3026
