Scientific paper

A comparison of the Price map, in which plains units were identified based on the prominence of lava flow morphology, with the Kryuchkov map, based on Basilevsky and Head model of Venus stratigraphy, revealed that at least in the area under study (40-80 degrees N, 140-260 degrees E) the plains units of Price are mixtures of formations of different ages. Her approach provides evidently the generally correct ranging of large regions of the planet according to their average age but it misses the key events of the geologic history of Venus such as an emplacement of distinctive stratigraphic members of the venusian plains. This should be taken into account when the determined crater densities and corresponding ages are interpreted.
