Thanks, TA & Rob.
Main thing is that we need to examine the border region with as much high-res as possible. The outer edges of the deposit should provide some clues on exactly how this stuff was laid down. Abrupt or very gradual borders could indicate a radiational origin as Tasp suggests, while streaky, irregular borders would suggest either an eruptive origin or infall from somewhere else. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
