This beautiful and prominent snaking ridge and its attendant landforms might be fluvial in origin, perhaps inverted river channels. Our science goal is to examine the details of the sedimentary structure, and seek better understanding of the percentage of fluvial sediment versus the substrate. Aeolis Dorsa lies between Zephyria and Aeolis Planum.
