Scientific paper

Geological mapping at 1:500,000 scale of the Granicus Valles area west of Elysium Mons (MTM quadrangles 30227, 30222, and 25227) indicates that (1) the oldest deposits in the area are Upper Hesperian lavas of the Elysium shield; (2) a basal scarp formed by Early Amazonian faulting around the northwest flank of Elysium Mons triggered growth of Elysium Fossae; (3) a glacier or an ice sheet west and north of the scarp was of long duration; (4) water and lava flows from Elysium Fossae became dominant during and after glacial recession; and (5) the last volcanic-fissure-related flows resulted in linear chains of small domes on the Elysium shield.
