This observation targets banded terrain located in an olivine-rich massif in the Hellas Basin. The olivine-rich massifs have been interpreted as ejecta blocks excavated from the lower crust/upper mantle by the Hellas Basin impact. In places, this banding is disrupted by a blobby and streaky dark-toned unit.
