Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) images of Candor Chasma
show sedimentary layers about 11 yards thick.
On Mars, massive units are typically found above
layered units, indicating that they are younger
and that the depositional environment changed
over time, from one that was changing in a
repeated, episodic fashion, to one in which
little change occurred over some period of time.
