Geologic mapping and crater-density dating of the plateaus flanking the south side of Ius-Melas- Coprates Chasmata of Valles Marineris, Mars suggests Late Noachian coeval canyon formation and accumulation of altered, sulfate-bearing light-tone layered deposits followed by deposition of plateau material and surface fracturing driven by domical uplift and other deformation. Later, Early Hesperian lava or debris flows in northwestern Thaumasia Planum trend southeastward from Melas Chasma, whereas Early Amazonian, east- to northeasttrending lava flows pre-date Louros Valles incision along the south edge of Ius Chasma.
