Continued analysis of the Magellan radar image data for Venus has begun to address fundamental questions regarding the geologic evolution of the surface of the planet (with implications for processes operating within the interior of the planet). The tools of this analysis are geologic mapping and the definition of local and regional stratigraphic relationships between defined geologic units. Of particular interest are units related to the formation and/or resurfacing of the plains terrain, which covers 80% of the surface of Venus. Two quad~ngles in the Niobe Planitia region, V12 (Vellamo Planitia), centered at 37 degrees N and 135 degrees, and Vll (Shimti Tessera), centered at 37 degrees N and 105 degrees, have been mapped as part of the VDAP and Venus Geological Mapping effort. Preliminary mapping results have been reported previously; this abstract expands the description and discussion of a new plains unit defined on the basis of mapping in this region.
