HiPOD: A Possible Clay-Rich Deposit

The nearby Nirgal Vallis locale exposes a clay unit in its valley walls. This observation aims to determine if this unit can be determined elsewhere in the region, such as in excavations in nearby craters. This crater likely has nice bedrock exposures, as visible in THEMIS and Context Camera data, and an overlapping CRISM image indicates a clay exposure.
