HiPOD 25 May 2023: A Serpentine-Bearing Mound in Ariadnes Colles

A CRISM observation over this unit shows several absorption bands indicative of the mineral serpentine. These probable serpentine-bearing units appear as bright-toned in HiRISE images. This observation will allow us to see the structure in high resolution for better study. The most obvious physical properties of serpentine are its green color and patterned appearance.
