Light-Toned Layered Deposits in Arda Valles

Light-Toned Layered Deposits in Arda Valles
Context Camera images and adjacent HiRISE images show there are small exposures of light-toned layered deposits within the valley here. Our additional goal is to look for layering and variations in shapes within the deposit. Arda Valles, named after a river in ancient Thrace, lies approximately 260 kilometers north of Holden Crater.
