Scientific paper

The origins of the ancient dark terrain on Ganymede and its three furrow systems are investigated using detailed geologic mapping of the furrows and dark-terrain units, observations and crater density measurements, and calculations of relative crater ages of material units. The results of the analysis are used to develop a hypothesis of the early evolution of Ganymede. Multiple testable models of furrow origin are presented.
