Thanks, Mike. I've long looked at the "anatolia landforms" around Endurance as relict Karst features. I've not revisited current literature on that subject in some time.

Interesting. Tithonium Chasma covers a lot of territory-- is there a HiRISE image # or a lat/long quoted? No access to the article, but I'd like to review the orbital imagery.

At a quick glance, it looks like it is a similar article and images to the Acta Carstologica article.

Thank you, sir, that is a good start.
"Acta Carstologica" , a scholarly journal devoted to karst. Never knew such existed... --Bill -------------------- |

It is quite interesting to compare the Tithonius dome with Mount Sedom near the Dead Sea, which is also an evaporite dome with karst topography (though in rock salt rather than gypsum), and also situated in a rift valley. You can see it in Google Earth at 31 deg 4 min N and 35 deg 23 min East. Here on Earth a salt dome can of course only survive long enough to develop karst topography in an extremely dry area, it would literally melt anywhere else.
By the way it's Acta Carsologica, not Carstologica. It's an Croatian journal. Karst is originally a croat word: "krs", however a vowel was added when it became an international word, non-croatians tend to find word like krs, grk and krk difficult to pronounce. |
