Summary

[edit]
Description

The layers, exposed in most rock outcrops in this image, are most likely lava flows from flood lavas that once erupted across the region. These layers are located in the upper walls of most of Valles Marineris and are sometimes exposed at depths well below the surrounding plateau, recording extensive volcanism in the history of the region.

Enhanced color cutout is less than 1 km (under 1 mi) across and the spacecraft altitude was 262 km (163 mi). For full images including scale bars, visit the source link.
