Description: Geologic mapping of the fretted terrain of the Nilosyrtis Mensae region of Mars has revealed geomorphic evidence that the breakup of the plateau units to the south of Nilosyrtis occurred well before the plains units to the north were emplaced in the late Hesperian time. The plains units were deposited against the fretted terrain which has undergone some modification by mass wasting but not significant backwasting. The morphology observed at the contact between plains and the fretted terrain is consistent with that expected where the edge of a pile of sedimentary debris has undergone mass wasting and other erosion.
