It looks like we had a pretty good drive on 4078 roughly to the east (or NE) and now have a better view down into Marathon Valley:

I was surprised to see that the area of smectite detection by CRISM shown in Crumpler's blog encompasses the floor of the valley almost to the exclusion of the bordering layers of bedrock. But maybe the resolution is such that a distinction cannot be made and the outline around the valley floor is misleading if taken as a hard fact.
