This observation request is based on a strong parameter signature of pyroxene coming from the latest CRISM multispectral survey data release. Context Camera data also shows light-tined materials here, and to date, there is no HiRISE coverage. Pyroxenes are particularly widespread in the cratered highlands, pointing to some of the most ancient portions of the planet’s crust.
