Title: Complex early rifting in Valles Marineris: Results from preliminary geologic mapping of the Ophir Planum Region of Mars
Abstract: Photogeologic mapping of the Ophir Planum quadrangle was undertaken to solve two main problems: (1) what controlled the location, orientation, and growth of Ophir Planum grabens; and (2) how are the grabens and trough faulting related. The rich geological history of the Ophir Planum quadrangle underscores the fundamental importance of faulting in the early growth of Valles Marineris.
