Nature and distribution of surficial deposits in Chryse Planitia and vicinity, MarsThe properties and lateral distribution of surficial units for the Mutch Memorial Station region are examined, using color images of the dust deposits in the region obtained at variable incidence angles during sol 611. The radiance factors from the region are compared with values derived from Viking Orbiter images and the materials in and around the region are described. Viking, earth-based, and laboratory spectra are compared and a model is constructed for the nature and distribution of surficial units in the Chryse Planitia region.
