Claritas Fossae is a group of troughs in the Phoenicis Lacus and Thaumasia quadrangles of Mars, located at 31.5 S and 104.1 W. The structure is 2,050.0 km long and was named after a classical albedo feature name.
[1] It was proposed that this area might be still tectonically active in relatively recent times.
[2] Long narrow depressions on Mars are called fossae.
Fossae/pit craters are common near volcanoes in the Tharsis and Elysium regions.
