The Amenthes trough forms a northwest-trending depression within the heavily cratered highlands of Mars. A landing site proposed here affords a well-defined geologic setting that will allow scrutiny of ancient Noachian sedimentary materials and processes. The proposed landing site, in the vicinity of 1.7 deg S, 246.4 deg W, generally satisfies mission engineering requirements for the Mars Surveyor '01 lander. Herein I describe the rich geology of the landing site from an examination of the regional context as well as local features. I also describe some of the kinds of science that might be performed by the lander/rover instrument package in this area.
