Buried layers beneath south rim of Valles Marineris revealed by central uplift of impact craters
Introduction: Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) revealed over the last decade light-toned deposits at the surface of Mars [1]. These deposits outcrop mainly between 30°N and 30° S, i.e. in the equatorial regions [2]. They are observed in distinct contexts : 1) In the Valles Marineris canyon system with as thick as 4 km of light toned layers inside the canyons [3], and a few meter thick sequence of ligh...
متن کاملASYMMETRIC STRUCTURE OF LUNAR IMPACT CRATERS DUE TO OBLIQUE IMPACTS? M.Goeritz
Introduction: It has long been a matter of debate whether there exist any characteristic features in crater morphology diagnostic for oblique impacts [e.g. 1,2]. The vast majority of impact craters are almost circular in plain view, although it is well known that most impacts occur at an oblique angle of incidence [3]. Impact events may be approximated as a stationary point source of energy and...
متن کاملThe geology andmineralogy of Ritchey crater, Mars: Evidence for post-Noachian clay formation
Widespread detection of phyllosilicates (clay minerals) in Noachian (>3.5 Ga) terrains on Mars and their paucity in younger terrains have led to the hypothesis that Noachian conditions were more clement than the colder, drier conditions that have since followed. However, recent clay detections in several Hesperian impact craters suggest that fluvial transport and alteration were possible after ...
متن کاملHydrothermal activity recorded in post Noachian-aged impact craters on Mars
Hydrothermal systems have previously been reported in ancient Noachian and Hesperian-aged craters on Mars using CRISM but not in Amazonian-aged impact craters. However, the nakhlite meteorites do provide evidence of Amazonian hydrothermal activity. This study uses CRISM data of 144 impact craters of ≥7 km diameter and 14 smaller craters (3–7 km diameter) within terrain mapped as Amazonian to se...
