Our goal with this observation is to examine the volcanic (or sedimentary) layers outcropping from a canyon wall in Valles Marineris. This location was also imaged by the Mars Orbiter Camera but we can look for boulders and detailed structures unresolved by that instrument. Enhanced color can help to observe differences within the layers, while stereo can aid to measure the dip of those layers.
