Scientific paper

This study investigates older heavily fractured crust in the Tharsis region on Mars, which represents windows to Martian evolution. We observe small positive landforms associated with fractured crust. These edifices seem to be similar to pyroclastic cones that form an unique volcanic field in the southern Ulysses Fossae. We conclude that the edifices studied here are also volcanic in origin and that they are associated with fractured crust. They possible represent remains of earlier volcanism which were later mostly buried under newer lava material covering current surface.
