The goal of this observation is to examine the ejecta blanket of Sibiti Crater, located in Coprates Chasma in Valles Marineris. In particular, we are looking for melt-bearing deposits in the ejecta blanket including melt ponds and features called herringbone cross-stratification, a type of sedimentary structure formed in tidal areas and flats.
