Our objective here is to document and investigate possible faulting and folds within these beautiful stratified sediments. Additionally, we can measure bedding offsets along the fault and distinguish topography from albedo (reflectivity) and detect possible compositional variations. Hebes Mensa, a flat-topped prominence with cliff-like edges, is located within Hebes Chasma, part of Valles Marineris.
