Candor Chasma is one of the the largest canyon systems that make up massive Valles Marineris, divided into two halves: East and West Candor Chasma. How it formed remains an area of study. The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has discovered sulfates, hydrated sulfates and iron oxides here.
A Context Camera image of this same area found ridges about 10 meters wide within the layered deposits here. These may be cemented fractures or dikes, so it’s worth taking a closer look.
