Small Light-Toned Mounds or Yardangs in Juventae Chasma

Small Light-Toned Mounds or Yardangs in Juventae Chasma

An Interesting Scene in Juventae Chasma
This image shows dark-toned, windblown sand that surrounds these mounds and yardangs. Other landforms in the area might be possible inverted stream channels? Fans? Odd layer expressions? Our goal is to try to deepen our understanding of the sedimentary rock record and geomorphic history recorded in Juventae Chasma, by looking at areas that are not the famous mounds.
