A previous image revealed the presence of possible eroded impact melt-bearing breccias (large, sharp-angled fragments of cemented rock) that embay the central uplift of Taytay. Olivine rich megablocks and terraces appear to be abundant here. If we are to find clays associated with the melt-bearing breccias, this would be one of the better places to look for them with the CRISM instruments.
