This observation targets a channel crossing a heavily eroded wrinkle ridge. On the south side of the wrinkle ridge, a dark-toned channel is inset within a light-toned material. The light-toned material may be related to the channel, such as altered primary minerals related to the presence of groundwater. This observation will evaluate the relationship between these two materials, as well as evaluate the presence of layering in the light-toned materials.
