A STUDY ON THE MORPHOLOGY AND GEOLOGY OF DULOVO CRATER; SOUTHERN LIBYA MONTES, MARS

Öz:

Dulovo krateri, Kuzey'de Libya Montes ve Isidis Planitia ile güneyde Terra Tyrrhena'nın sınırında, Syrtis Major Planum un Batı'sında yer alır. Burası, meteor çarpmaları, volkanik, rüzgar ve flüviyal süreçlerden etkilenen bir bölgedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Mars'ın Libya Montes bölgesinde bulunan Dulovo kraterindeki jeomorfolojik ve jeolojik birimleri tanımlamaktır. Bu nedenle, çalışma alanının 1: 100.000 ölçekli jeomorfoloji haritası hazırlamış, kayaçların mineral içeriğini belirlemek için uzaktan algılama yöntemleri uygulanmış ve meteor çarpmasının yaşını belirlemek amacıyla krater boyu frekans dağılımı (CSFD) kullanılmıştır. Buna göre, Dulovo kraterinde gözlemlenen jeomorfolojik birimler, çok ayrışmış ejekta, yakınsak ejekta düzlüğü, yakınsak ayrışmış ejekta düzlüğü, çarpma kraterleri, vadiler, moloz akıntıları, krater kenarı, taban çökelleri, ayrışmış krater tabanı, kumul tepeleri ve krater tepeleridir. Bu yapılar Mars üzerindeki geçmiş ve sürmekte olan süreçleri temsil ederler. Spektral mineraloji sonuçları ise çalışma alanının piroksen-olivin zengin kayaçlardan, piroksen açısından zengin temel kayaçlardan, piroksen bakımından zengin allokton kayaçlardan, birkaç adet filosilikat bakımından zengin mostralar ve olivin bakımından zengin mostralardan oluştuğunu göstermiştir. Son olarak, krater ejektasına CSFDs yöntemi uygulanmış ve 3.74 ± 0.06 Ga yaşını vermiştir. Bu yaş meteorun çarpma zamanını temsil etmektedir

DULOVO CRATER'İN MORFOLOJİSİ VE JEOLOJİSİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI; SOUTHERN LIBYA MONTES, MARS

Öz:

Dulovo crater is located at the border of Libya Montes and surrounded by Isidis Planitia to the North and Terra Tyrrhena to the South, with Syrtis Major Planum to the West. This is a region affected by impact, volcanic, aeolian, and fluvial processes. The aim of this study is to identify the geomorphological and geological units in the Dulovo crater Southern Libya Montes, Mars. For this reason, we prepared a 1:100,000 scale geomorphology map of the study area, applied remote sensing methods to determine the mineral content of rocks and used crater-size frequency distribution (CSFDs) to determine the age of the meteor impaction. The geomorphological units observed in the Dulovo crater are highly altered ejecta, proximal ejecta plain, proximal altered ejecta plain, craters, valleys, debris flows, crater rim, floor sediments, altered floor, sand dunes and crater mound, which represent inactive or ongoing processes on Mars. The spectral mineralogy analysis show that the area consist of pyroxene-olivine rich rocks, pyroxene rich bedrocks, pyroxene rich caprocks (allochthon), a few phyllosilicate-rich outcrops and olivine-rich outcrops. Finally, CSFDs method has been applied to the crater ejecta and yielded an age of 3.74 ± 0.06 Ga that represents the timing of the meteor impact
