Overview:
- NE to SW valley system
- see distal edge of low albedo flow in SW corner
- Plateau to the NE
- Dissected plateau with drainage to the SW

Jim Rice Feature Map of ellipse based
on MDIM Simulation:
- Located on Analysts Notebook website
- Lava flow to the SW
- Linear Dunes north of ellipse
- Cliff and ledge forming members in center north
- Layered rocks at right north |
None selected. |
None entered. |
Larry Crumpler Geologic Map from ANB:
- Identify several units based pon themis and morphology
- Plateau materials to right top
- Unit with very different albedo labeled b which is cliffs eroded with
arroyos; a bluff unit; it mixes well with other units, so perhaps fine
grained that mixes with alluvium; massively layered.
- Unit sits in unit of valley walls, those sit on unit valley floors
- Lava flow units "v" identified in two unconnected areas; top left is
perhaps a cinder cone
|
None selected. |
- Science will be highly dependent on actual
landing site: dunes, lavas, or layered cliffs! Highly diverse landing
ellipse. |

Thermal emissivity:
- Green feature in center is a cloud
- Ran a PCA to stretch color
- Lava flow in cyan
- Purple unit filling river valley
- Classification show volcanic as maroon;
- Carbonate features seen in lower left quadrant
- Possible andstone (or at least quartz rich unit) as green, blue, and
purple in river valley
- Unbelieveable spectral matches: brownish tan covering eastern part of
scene matches layered granites; perhaps just minerals common to these
granites also occur here.
|
None selected. |
- Possible sandstone (or at least quartz rich
unit) as green, blue, and purple in river valley corresponds to
Crumplers finegrainined unit |
Reflectance Data from ASTER with PCA:
- Good for mapping continuous units of similar composition; not as good
for IDing mineralogy
- see nice units along river
valley cliff
- Possible tectonic feature causing tilt in north side of river valley
- See clay and carbonate features at 2.2 microns all over; hard to
believe clay and carbonate all over the scene and think that getting
some atmospheric contamination (poor removal).
- Want FIDO to ground truth the orbital data |
None selected. |
- Possible film due to pavement forming as source
of universal carbonate and clay?
-
|
| Seeing more silicates than carbonates |
None selected. |
None entered. |
Structural features:
- Possible fault in river valley? See alluvial channels on west side of
valley.
- Mild tilting |
None selected. |
- Trace elevation of layers in reflectance PCA to
gather elevation and strike/dip information for input to structural
analysis |
