This site has been identified to be one of the best locales where triangular-faceted spurs are observed in Valles Marineris. Earlier observations of these formations used Viking images and a HiRISE picture can check this interpretation and refine it by quantifying fault displacement. This area may be key to interpreting the structural evolution of early east Candor Chasma.
