This image shows an outcrop of light-toned rock in Eos Chaos, a knobby region which transitions into the Eos Chasma. The outcrop is exposed in the wall of a mesa (a flat-topped, steep-sided plateau).
The outcrop is prominent in the eastern part of the image. Most of the material is light and shows many small scarps or benches. In places these appear to indicate boundaries between layers, but they are often discontinuous. The light material is buried by a thin mantle of dark material in places; the dark material is from other rock layers—possibly those above the outcrop—and has fallen or been blown over the light rock.
