With this image, we can assess the stratigraphic relationships between a clay-bearing unit with a strong spectral signature in CRISM that appears to correlate with extensive occurrences of a reddish bedrock that appears to span from northern Hellas to the wall-rock and uplifts of a few complex craters in Syrtis Major. Could this bedrock come from the subsurface of ejecta materials from Isidis and Hellas?
