This observation targets a small region of patchy light-toned materials visible in Context Camera images. These outcrops are small, precluding geomorphological analysis and assignment of a stratigraphic position relative to the surrounding materials. The shape of this material closely resembles sinuous, light-toned outcrops elsewhere in Terra Cimmeria. The latter group may be fluvial in nature; if so, the detection of similar materials in a non-fluvial setting may be useful for comparison purposes.
