Scientific paper

Tessera terrain covers about 35 x 10^6 km^2 (~8%) of the surface of Venus; everywhere it has been examined it appears to represent the oldest stratigraphic unit. There have been only a few attempts to decipher the details of tessera internal structure. We have completed a geologic traverse across a large tessera occurrence in the central portion of Ovda Regio (at about 82 degrees E) in an attempt to understand 1) the units making up the surface of tessera and the nature of the tessera precursor terrain, 2) the sequence of events in Ovda tessera evolution, and 3) the timing of this process. We analyzed the morphology of the tessera structural facies to assess the nature of the tessera precursor terrain and the sequence of events leading to tessera formation and we used intratessera plains as a stratigraphic marker in defining stages in the formation and evolution of Ovda Regio.
