On the Floor of Mawrth Vallis
Data from the CRISM instrument shows a localized, unique spectral phase consistent with polyhydrated sulfate or zeolite here on the Mawrth Vallis channel floor, with implications for the regional history. We want to look for potential textural differences between new hydrated mineral and adjacent clays.
Image cutout is less than 1 km (under a mile) top to bottom and the spacecraft altitude was 285 km (177 mi) and north is to the right. For full observation details including images with scale bars, visit the source link.
