The global color set compiled by the Mars Consortium was investigated. The problem of application of the martian surface color data to geologic interpretation are atmospheric contributions which increase with latitude, and the high correlation among the three color bands. In southern Amenthes the classified units show areas of possible mixing between cratered terrain and smooth plains. It is suggested that some geologically meaningful correlation exists between surface units and the transformed color data in the Amenthes region. The knobby terrain protruding through the plains units appears to be remnants of ancient cratered terrain extending northward beneath the more youthful smooth plains.
