Most suspected chloride deposits in the Eridania Basin are high-albedo (reflectivity) and found in flattish areas. Around the eastern basin rim, some of these chlorides are distinctively low-albedo, and found in channels. High resolution imagery here may be able to resolve some channel stratigraphy.
