Mounds and Ridge in Oxia Colles

Mounds and Ridges in Oxia Colles
This landform shows distinctive layering in Context Camera images, and is similar to other buttes to the far northeast that have been observed to have stratigraphy like there is in Mawrth Vallis. Understanding the connection between these landforms is vital to our knowledge of their formation. The ridge is to the immediate north of the mound.
