An Atypical Cone in Claritas Fossae
This image captures an atypical conical formation associated with flow-like features. The shape of the cone suggests that there was a larger cone whose summit area was destroyed and a newer smaller cone formed inside this crater-like area. This observation can help to reveal further details about the shape of the cone and the flows as well.
