Unravelling the tectonic styles that affected the Martian crust is crucial to better understand the evolutionary stages that a rocky planet can experience. Here, we explore the tectonic setting of a key region of Mars, namely the Claritas Fossae (CF). The CF is located in the Highlands to the south-...
