Distribution of sedimentary rocks on Mars Distribution of sedimentary rocks (black dots, from Malin et al., 2010). Alluvial fans are also shown (purple dots, from Kraal et al., 2008). Blue horizontal lines highlight the ±10° latitude band. Dark gray shading corresponds to recently resurfaced terrain, which is masked out from the analysis. Light gray contours show topography, with the +10 km contour highlighted in red. Courtesy Edwin Kite
