This observation targets three exposures of light-toned materials with a sinuous outcrop pattern. These long, narrow outcrops appear to have formed parallel to the topographic gradient between degraded crater rim materials and a ridged plain surface. In addition, they may be related to other light-toned materials with similar patterns seen elsewhere in Terra Cimmeria. Observations of these materials may aid in understanding the aqueous history of the region.
