The focus of this observation is a cone near Solis Dorsa that has a hint of an unresolved summit crater in THEMIS instrument data. This is likely a cinder cone, and seems associated with a dark patch in THEMIS nighttime infrared data. We want to compare with other possible cinder cones elsewhere. We can also look for boulders and bedding not mantled by any dust. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona)]]>
