Sirenum Fossae (Mars)

This feature is named after an earlier feature.

Troughs on Mars like this one are called Fossae. Sirenum Fossae is believed to have formed by movement along a pair of faults causing a center section to drop down. This kind of feature is called a graben. (wikipedia entry)

A fossa is a long, narrow, shallow depression. On Mars they are named after the nearest named albedo feature on the Schiaparelli or Antoniadi maps.
