Scientific paper

The possible terrestrial chemical counterparts of the materials at the Venera 8 and Venera 13 landing sites are restudied on the basis of the most recent terrestrial geochemical data and in anticipation of Magellan data on the Venera geologic-tectonic settings. Results indicate that the primative mafic composition of the Venera 13 material is quite dissimilar to the inferred evolved intermediate composition of the Venera 8 material, suggesting the existence of a continental crust on Venus.
