A Context Camera image shows sinuous ridges and possible layers at this location, which is within an alluvial-fan-bearing crater. One possible interpretation is that erosion has formed inverted channels and incised them into distal alluvial fan or deltaic materials. A derived 3D image can help look for “double ridges” that might be bracketing inverted channels.
