Results are presented of an investigation of the geology, physical properties, and topography of Apollinaris Patera which was performed on the basis of geologic mapping, thermal inertia measurements, and analysis of the color (visual wavelengths) of this Martian volcano. Initially, the main edifice was formed over a period of about 10 exp 7 yr, and then the volcano experienced a period of quiescence during which the basal scarp formed and the valleys were incised in the main flanks. Activity at the summit formed the present large outer caldera and floor materials. After, or during late stages of outer calder activity, the materials that formed the fan were erupted over 10,000 yr. After emplacement of the fan materials, the smaller, inner caldera and associated floor materials formed over an unconstrained time period. Morphologic analysis suggests that a significant portion of the main edifice is composed of poorly to nonwelded pyroclastic deposits, possibly including a phreatomagmatic component.
