Introduction: Venus as a probable single-plate planet [1] has a unique set of volcano-tectonic features. The enigmatic circular structures, coronae are of great interest in particular. The corona definition does also include other concentric features known as the “arachnoids” [2], but it does not elaborate on the details of the concentric volcano-tectonic structures. In several cases, coronae a...

The international workshop ‘‘Planet Mars II’’ which took place at the Centre de Physique in Les Houches (France) on May 23–June 1, 2005, led to vivid and fruitful discussions about the new results which have recently come out of the Mars Global Surveyor, Mars Odyssey, Exploration Rovers and Mars Express space missions. Following the first workshop which took place on April 28–May 9, 2003 (Encre...

The Neolithic menhir El Gustal is located on a karstificated Coniacian limestone. The original morphology of the monolith and the pit has been preserved, and fragments of limestone filled the hollow. This has made it possible to identify construction phases of the most elementary stone constructive typology. Firstly, the original position of the monolith in the quarry of origin has been determi...
