Medusae Fossae Formation

The Medusae Fossae Formation is a large geological unit of probable volcanic origin on the planet Mars . [1] It is named for the Medusa of Greek mythology. "Fossae" is Latin for "trenches". Located roughly at 5°S 213°E  /  5°S 213°E  / -5; 213 , it straddles the highland - lowland boundary near the Tharsis and Elysium volcanic areas. The Medusae Fossae Formation lies partly in five quadrangles: the Amazonis quadrangle , the Tharsis quadrangle , the Memnonia quadrangle , the Elysium quadrangle , and the Aeolis quadrangle .
