摘要: Marius Hills is a volcanic plateau on the nearside of Moon. It great interest for its high concentration features, including domes, cones, ridges, and rilles. However, morphological chronological characteristics this were not well studied due to low resolution early mission data. This study describes detailed morphology features using latest spatial images Terrain Camera (TC) onboard Selene-1 (10 m/pix) Narrow Angle (NAC) Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) (0.5 m/pix). We report here some new structures such as skylights remnants lava tubes. have divided spectrally homogenous areas with Clementine UVVIS data did crater size frequency distribution (CSFD) measurements (LO) IV TC in every spectral unit. first absolute model ages 1.10 Ga basalt 1, 1.49 Flamsteed basalt, 1.46 Schiaparelli Basalt. In addition, we identified several younger events: they are 2 (814 Ma), medium titanium (949 undifferentiated (687 Ma). Finally, propose mantle plume scenario formation Hills, which could solve inconsistency previous models.
