Scientific paper

Among ~650 craters superposed on plains with wrinkle ridges (Pwr) only 7 craters have been found to be deformed by wrinkle ridges so the time interval between the emplacement of Pwr material and its wrinkle ridging (Twr) is estimated to be about 3-5 m.y. However a study of martian wrinkle ridges by Allemand and Thomas (JGR, E2, 1995) shows that although the ridges tend to be localized at the preexisting craters only part of craters predating the wrinkle ridge emplacement may have ridges visibly superposed on them. If we apply these observations to Venus, Twr is estimated to be 40-70 m.y. long. The true value of Twr is evidently in between these two extreme estimations.
