Layered Deposits on South Wall of West Candor Chasma

Layered Deposits on South Wall of West Candor Chasma

A Wall of Layered Deposits
Context Camera image data shows layred deposits within the spurs of the wall here, as well as at the top of the slope. It will be interesting to see the orientations of these layers and if they are contiguous from the top to bottom of the slope. This scene is in west Candor Chasma, part of the Valles Marineris canyon system.
