Abstract
- Topographic profiles and MOC images suggest that the flat floor of Gusev results from sediment deposition in the absence of strong sublacustrine currents. This setting is favorable to preserve undisturbed sedimentary sequences and identify carbonates and evaporites in the landing ellipse. Additional information is contained in the original extended abstract.
