This ridge feature show all the morphological signatures of being an inverted channel (sinuous, branching, often flat topped). It sits in the same stratigraphic position as Aram Dorsum, the branching inverted channel system that is an ExoMars candidate landing site region. The aim is to whether these inverted channels have consistent shapes over the whole region or if there is a diversity of form in the ridges themselves and in the terrains they sit directly upon.
