Scientific paper

We propose a new center (35.5 W, 32.5 N) and ring assignment for the original Chryse impact basin based on photogeologic mapping and re-examination of the published geology. Noachian features in the Chryse Planitia area are the best indicators of the original ancient multiringed impact structure. While other workers have centered the Chryse impact on the topographic low associated with Hesperian volcanic and fluvial deposits, we suggest that the center of the original Noachian-age excavation cavity was located 800 km farther NE, and the basin topography was significantly modified over time.
