Description:
Abstract:
The Michelangelo quadrangle is in the southern hemisphere
of Mercury, where the imaged part is heavily cratered
terrain that has been strongly influenced by the presence
of multiring basins. At least four such basins, now nearly
obliterated, have largely controlled the distribution of
plains materials and structural trends in the map area.
Many craters, interpreted to be of impact origin, display a
spectrum of modification styles and degradation states. The
interaction between basins, craters, and plains in this
quadrangle provides important clues to geologic processes
that have formed the morphology of the mercurian surface.
Purpose:
Supplemental_Information:
Mariner l0 data include complete photographic coverage of
the quadrangle at a resolution of about 2 km. In addition,
twelve stereopairs cover scattered areas in the quadrangle
(Davies and others, 1978, p. 114-115); these photographs
were used to supplement the geologic interpretation. About
10° of longitude of the H-13 quadrangle (Solitudo
Persephones Province) adjacent to the west is included in
the map area because not enough Mariner 10 data were
acquired of this quadrangle to justify the production of
another map.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
All attributes created during the creation process were
verified by displaying the lines in both the database and
the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though
no tests were performed. Line geometry is topologically clean.
