The Mawrth Vallis region contains one of the largest phyllosilicate outcrops on Mars with abundant exposures of many aqueous minerals and phases [e.g. 1-6]. The objective of this study is to characterize the mineralogy and morphology of phyllosilicate-bearing rocks at Mawrth Vallis that exhibit possible sedimentary features. If the Mawrth Vallis region is shown to have a sedimentary origin, then that increases the probability that life could have been present here and preserved. Here we present analyses of CRISM and HiRISE images of possible sedimentary deposits in Oyama crater and in the walls of a smaller crater just outside Oyama.
