This image shows us “fluvial ridge” landforms and fluvial sediment in the Aeolis region of Mars. The dark-toned material may be windblown sand. Where there is such sand, there is the potential that the bedrock is cleanly-exposed, as opposed to covered with windblown dust. Our goal is to examine details of the sedimentary structure, seek better understanding of how this formed.
