Chloride salt-bearing deposits. (a) True color and (b) chloride browse products for CRISM images FRT0000A858 and FRT0000B001. The true color image is an enhanced natural color representation of the scene, and the chloride browse product shows information related to inferred chloride deposits and spatially associated hydrated mineral deposits23. The chloride deposits are light toned in true color and appear blue in the chloride browse products. The CRISM images are ∼ 10 km wide at their narrowest. (c) HiRISE images of strongly blue-colored regions exhibit a light-toned fractured and blocky appearance. The colored boxes correspond to the location of the HiRISE subframes within the CRISM images. via PubMed
