This observation targets a pit partially filled with layered material and surrounded by banded terrain, as seen in Context Camera data . The relationship between the banded terrain and the layered material in the pit is unclear. HiRISE imaging may help to understand the contact between two. Stereo will be helpful for measuring the thickness of the banded terrain and layered material.
