The objective of this observation is to determine the nature of a group of exposed layers. They seem to be from material sitting at the bottom of a trough instead of in the trough walls. Located between the lava plains of Daedalia Planum and Solis Planum, Claritas Fossae is a graben-filled highland and was formed prior to the large lava flows of the Tharsis region.
