HiPOD 4 Jul 23: Mesas Eroding out of a Mawrth Vallis Plateau

These mesas contain bright-toned material which have been found to be clay-bearing in other mesas with both HiRISE and CRISM data. These regions of bright-toned material are layered down to the meter scale and are heavily fractured, reminiscent of the clay-bearing deposits at Mawrth Vallis.
