Phyllosilicate-Rich Terrain in the Ejecta of an Impact Crater

The cutout shows the plains adjacent to the crater’s northwestern rim in enhanced contrast, highlighting the range of compositions sampled by the crater that exhibit a range of colors. Phyllosilicate-rich materials on Mars most commonly have relatively orange colors, whereas some of the bluer material visible here may have been less altered by interaction with water.
