| Abstract | Viking Orbiter images of the Reull Vallis (41.6°S, 258.3°W) show a complex scene that includes horizontal rock strata exposed in the valley walls, parallel remnants of plains mantle units and an apparently anomalous re-entrant structure which we call the Pomona Vallis (44 °S, 258.5°W) (see Fig. 1). These features reveal an intricate history, including a large sheet flood, possibly originating from the Pomona Vallis, which stripped and scoured Reull Vallis and its surroundings. |
