摘要
Ma'adim Vallis and Gusev crater (Aeolis subquadrangle of Mars) formed a complex hydrogeologic system through time. Crater statistics over five geologic units, coupled with morphologic and geologic observations, show that this system was active over a period ranging from 0.7 to about 2 billion years. These results make the floor of Gusev crater one of the most prominent martian depositional features. The last aqueous sedimentary deposition could have occurred during Early Amazonian.
