The quadrangle extends from 0 to 25 deg latitude and 30 to 60 deg longitude. Full resolution F-MAPs were interpreted using standard photogeological techniques. Different material units were identified and their embayment and superpositional relationships studied to determine the geological evolution of the area. This was done with the aid of synthetic stereo imagery produced by the USGS. The Scarpellini quadrangle is dominated by plains that are interpreted as volcanic in origin. The regional plains contain linear features that vary widely in style and distribution. These include braided lineaments, wrinkle ridges and reticulate and polygonal fracture patterns that are often associated with easily discernible topographic structures. It is inferred that the disruption and deformation of the surface has resulted from a variety of tectonic and volcanic processes. The quadrangle contains several large coronae 300-400 km in diameter, and numerous smaller circular features, in the order of 100 km across, that resemble coronae. The southern flanks of Nekhebet Mons occupy the northwest of the region. A large region of tessera, Manatum Tessera, dominates the northeast of the quadrangle. Small volcanic features are distributed throughout Scarpellini; these include shields, conical edifices, domes and scalloped margined domes.
