Scientific paper

Attention is given to a reconstruction of terrain in the Galileo C3 'Wedges' image of Europa, which reassembles older features and closes two prominent NW-SE trending dark wedge-shaped bands and an EW trending intermediate-toned band. It is argued that after the formation of the original 'island' terrain, ridges developed on it. Later it became isolated topographically from the adjacent territory with the creation of the thin, bounding ridges. While the location of the crater on the 'island' may be a coincidence, its presence there suggests the possibility that this block is a relic of a more heavily cratered landscape.
