Geologic map of the Terra Cimmeria-Nepenthes Mensae transitional zone, Mars – 1:1.45Million

A 1:1.45Million geologic map of NW Terra Cimmeria and SE Nepenthes Mensae (-5°31’–5°38’ N, 119°20’–129°55’ E) is presented here, displaying one the highland-lowland transitional zones Mars with greatest contrast diversity. The Cimmeria-Nepenthes Transitional Zone comprises two complex poorly studied domains bounded by dichotomy escarpment. produced in this work displays nineteen units numerous geomorphic features. Detailed mapping, morphologic morphometric analyses Poisson model-derived ages have permitted to constrain stratigraphy zone reconstruct more accurately its geological history from Early Noachian recent times, suggesting a significant period fluvial activity within Amazonian. provides insight into processes involved origin development offers reference framework for future studies region.
