Impacts into non-polar ice-rich paleodeposits on Mars: Excess ejecta craters, perched craters and pedestal craters as clues to Amazonian climate history
We compare three previously independently studied crater morphologies – excess ejecta craters, perched craters, and pedestal craters – each of which has been proposed to form from impacts into an ice-rich surface layer. Our analysis identifies the specific similarities and differences between the crater types; the commonalities provide significant evidence for a genetic relationship among the m...
متن کاملThe ages of pedestal craters on Mars: Evidence for a late-Amazonian extended period of episodic emplacement of decameters-thick mid-latitude ice deposits
There is significant geomorphologic evidence for the past presence of longitudinally widespread, latitudinally zoned deposits composed of ice-rich material at the northern and southern mid latitudes on Mars (lobate debris aprons, lineated valley fill, concentric crater fill, pedestal craters, etc.). Among these features, pedestal craters (Pd) are impact craters interpreted to have produced a pr...
متن کاملRecent high-latitude resurfacing by a climate-related latitude-dependent mantle Constraining age of emplacement from counts of small craters
A surficial mantling deposit composed of ice and dust blankets Mars at high and mid-latitudes. The emplacement and evolution of this deposit is thought to be driven by astronomical forcings akin to, but more extreme than, those responsible for Earth’s ice ages. In order to test predictions about the age of this deposit, more than 60,000 superposed craters were counted on terrain near the rims o...
متن کاملImpact Craters of Venus with D>5 Km Classified Based on Degree of Preservation of the Associated Radar-dark Deposits
Introduction. This is a further continuation of work [1], which studied craters ≥30 km in diameter. That work used the approach of [2] to subdivide craters based on character of the associated radar dark deposits. It was suggested by [2] and then confirmed by [3] that the most pristine deposits of that sort are radar-dark parabolas. Non-parabolic radar-dark halos represent the next stage of the...
متن کاملDistribution of mid-latitude ground ice on Mars from new impact craters.
New impact craters at five sites in the martian mid-latitudes excavated material from depths of decimeters that has a brightness and color indicative of water ice. Near-infrared spectra of the largest example confirm this composition, and repeated imaging showed fading over several months, as expected for sublimating ice. Thermal models of one site show that millimeters of sublimation occurred ...
