A Flow Intersection At Cerberus Fossae On Mars
Cerberus Fossae
NASA/HiRISE

At this location, a portion of the Cerberus Fossae seems to intersect with the edge of a lava flow or other feature nearly perpendicular to the fossae.
This could be a good location to investigate stratigraphic relationships and other aspects of the relationship of the fossae to the surrounding terrain.
