This observation is located between previous coverage to the immediate east, north, and northwest. This is a critical area to address a question: is the landslide deposit superimposed by younger light-toned layered rock, or is the light-toned material part of the original landslide deposit (or even a later landslide deposit on top of it)? This also relates to the questions about the timing of light-toned “interior layered materials” deposition versus the opening of the chasm.
