Abstract

Here we present a 1:1,000,000 geological map of the Ariadnes basin (31-38° S, 170-179° E) (Mars), which is one of the topographic depressions located between Terra Sirenum and Terra Cimmeria in the Martian highlands. This basin is diverse, both in terms of morphology and mineralogy, and it is a site of major interest to study the chronological boundary between the Noachian and Hesperian periods (∼3.71 Ga). However, a detailed map of the area has not yet been published. The map described in this paper was produced through the analysis of recent images and topographic data that allow the definition of the geologic units with unprecedented detail. We distinguished eight units and diverse tectonic and geomorphic features. We also examined the regional stratigraphy by age determination using crater counting in order to constrain the geological history of the Ariadnes basin. The map provides a basis for which later analyses can build understanding of the regional paleoenvironment.
