Scientific paper

An improved sequence of formation for Valles Marineris depressions is proposed. It involves three key stages: (a) dike emplacement radial to Syria Planum during Late Noachian to Early Hesperian time; (b) subsidence of crustal rocks due to reduction of void space at depth during post-Early Hesperian time; and (c) regional normal faulting that overprints the ancestral basins and forms the structural troughs during Amazonian time.
