This observation shows a multithreaded, inverted fluvial channel located to the west of Idaeus Fossae. The formation may date back to the mid-Noachian epoch, billions of years ago. There is also evidence for lateral channel migration and is possibly associated with fan deposits in an impact crater to the east. Idaeus Fossae is a complex set of channels located on the margin between Tempe Terra and Acidalia Planitia.
