 The Medusa Fossae formation on Mars
The Medusa Fossae formation is an extensive unit of enigmatic origin found near the Martian 'highland-lowland dichotomy boundary' between the Tharsis and Elysium centres of volcanic activity.
This dichotomy boundary is a narrow region separating the cratered highlands, located mostly in the southern hemisphere of Mars, from the northern hemisphere's lowland plains.
It is commonly agreed that the materials forming Medusa Fossae were deposited by pyroclastic flows or similar volcanic ash falls.

The Medusa Fossae formation is an extensive area of unknown origin found near a boundary between the highlands and lowlands of Mars.
Scientists think the materials that formed Medusa Fossae were deposited by volcanic fireworks known as pyroclastic flows or similar volcanic ash falls.
Later, a space rock hit near the massif and an ejecta blanket was spread as a flow over parts of the plateau, implying water or ice was present in the subsurface at the time of impact.

 Universe Today - Medusa Fossae Region on Mars
Tue, 29 Mar 2005 - The European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft took this image of the Medusa Fossae Region on the Red Planet.
This is an unusual region of Mars that was probably built up by a series of volcanic flows or rains of ash, and then partially eroded by water.
Finally, a large asteroid, several kilometres across, struck the region and "splashed" ejecta onto the plateau.
