The Strangeness of Ariadnes Colles

Ariadne Chaos reveals a complex geological history which seems to deviate from other described chaotic terrains. The fact that some of the blocks are higher than an adjacent slope shows that the formation process must include elevation of the blocks. The irregular jumbles of blocks are widespread on a smooth, bulging plain, and some blocks indicate that slumping has taken place.
