Reinterpretation of Tractus Fossae region as an asymmetric rift system on Mars

The Tractus Fossae region of Mars is a wide area dominated by grabens, normal faults and pit crater chains. In this work, based on previous studies on the area and the new interpretation of topographic data and morphological units based on images as a geologic framework we present a new insight on t...
