Scientific paper

High-resolution television pictures obtained by Mariner 9 are presented as evidence to show that the ragged dark streaks which appeared behind many dark craters several months after the end of the 1971 global dust storm resulted from wind erosion of a thin surface veneer consisting of dust-storm fallout. The pictures were taken over an area near the border between Mare Serpentis and Pandorae Fretum (approximately 30 deg S, 335 deg W). The high-resolution pictures are compared with low-resolution views of the same area, and it is shown that one very long dark streak is interrupted by a rille. It is concluded that this interruption proves that the dark streaks were produced by the present erosional mechanism.
