I have a comment for the investigative team.

I have met with closed minds on my observation of Kasei Valles.

According to the MOLA Image published in January 2004 in National Geographic, the color coded MOLA image shows a small
"island" between two shorelines.  There is a small "fingerlike" projection on the upper (?northern) side of the island that fits into a bay area located along the coastline of the (?western) shore.

... like it broke away, and geological turbulence swirled it away and filled in the cracks with lava.  Perhaps expanded.

If you notice on the (?eastern) shore, the other side of the island would fit along it,
and another island located (?south) of the original island, would fit (?south) of the first island.

Do you see this?

Well... inconceivable as it may seem, I still agree with myself that the mass fits into spaces on both sides of the plate.  The picture I am looking at was in the National Geographic Magazine, in the January issue.    I do not feel that it was caused by a fluvial scour, since the edges of the arrowhead shaped piece would fit into the coastline if you could take a giant sized hand and move it back.  So, if the pieces fit, that would mean that they broke apart.  Not washed away.  This is not entirely unlikely, since continental drift happens on both planets.  It must have been fairly hot when it happened, since there seem to be spots that look like it could have been "bubbling" (perhaps like a lava flow) and has the appearance of broken bubbles.  It almost looks like a pan of mashed potatoes that started to boil.

The reason I state that there is no water on Mars.. is because
Article about Mars as stated in National Geographic Magazine, Dated January 2004.
The article states that geological violence carved the huge channel of the Northern Kasei Valles.  Some scientists think that the catatrophic releases of groundwater carved the valley.
I wish to point out that I looked at this picture of Kasei Valles for an hour. 
When you look at a puzzle, like one of those 1000 piece puzzles, your brain starts to see certain features.  Out of the corner of your eye, you start to see colors that correspond, shapes that fit.  Sometimes you do this without realizing that you are doing it.
I see Kasei Valles like a large puzzle piece.
In the THEMIS infrared image, you can see the supposed groundwater carved channel.
I would like to point out that this arrowhead shaped piece has definite shape that fits into the lines on either side of the “coastline” (for lack of a better term)
In my eyes, this picture looks like a picture of a cookie, that split apart, moved away from itself, and the resulting channel, is simply a hole. 
If you look closely, the edges of this piece, exactly match up on BOTH sides to the coasts.
WHICH means, that it simply expanded.  Mars expanded.
Not water.  NOT massive flood.  Just “continental drift”.
I notice in the rest of the article, that there is other evidence of movement.  The article states that there was another smooth layer that came loose and moved.
