Cerberus Fossae are a group of fissures or cracks in the Elysium quadrangle. They were created by faults which pulling the crust apart. These fossae are 1235 km across with a center at 11.28 °N and 166.37 °E.[1]
Troughs of Cerberus Fossae that sit to the east of Albor Tholus HiRISE images only have a color strip in the center. Marquakes detected by InSight are originating in places like this.
