Colorful Terrain Southwest of Dawes Crater

In between the craters and sand cover, the bedrock here shows a range of colors, likely reflecting a range of rock compositions that were perhaps jumbled up by the Dawes and other nearby impacts that occurred over Martian history. The enhanced color cutout shows some green/blue blocks that may contain the igneous minerals pyroxene or olivine.
