Scientific paper

Geologic mapping of the area under study led to the conclusion that a significant part of the geologic history of this region was practically the same as in the majority of other areas of Venus: 1) deformation of material of unknown nature into tessera terrain; 2) emplacement of mafic lavas and their dense fracturing; 3) emplacement of mafic lavas and their broad ridging; 4) emplacement of mafic lavas and their wrinkle ridging. After that a large-scale geologic event specific for this given area occurred: a mosaic of plains and tessera was domically uplifted thus forming the Beta upland. Its summit was cut by the NS axial Devana Rift zone which had practically no associated volcanism within the V17 quadrangle, but further south the rift-associated Theia Mons volcano was formed.
