The vast outcrops of sedimentary rocks exposed in the Sinus Meridiani region cover an area larger than the Colorado Plateau of North America and exhibit a greater diversity than seen by the Mars rover, Opportunity. More than 800 meters of stratigraphic section is seen in orbiter images, whereas the rover has explored less than 1% of this section.
