Since the first photogeologic exploration of Mars, vast mounds of layered sediments found within the Valles Marineris canyon system (Interior Layered Deposits or ILDs) have remained unexplained. We use spectroscopic mapping along with geomorphic observations and mass balance calculations to address the origin of sulfate-bearing ILDs. The results suggest that the ILDs in Valles Marineris could not have formed from groundwater upwelling or any "bottom-up" alteration. Instead, the ILDs likely formed by atmospherically driven processes.
