  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

Naturwissenschaften 100:4:365-371. Pleistocene survival of an archaic dwarf baleen whale (Mysticeti: Cetotheriidae) Robert W. Boessenecker1,2 1Department of Geology, University of Otago, 360 Leith Walk, Dunedin, New Zealand 2 University of California Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley, California, U.S.A. *[email protected] Abstract Pliocene baleen whale assemblages are characterized by a mix of early records of extant mysticetes, extinct genera within modern families, and late surviving members of the extinct family Cetotheriidae. Although Pleistocene baleen whales are poorly known, thus far they include only fossils of extant genera, indicating late Pliocene extinctions of numerous mysticetes alongside other marine mammals. Here, a new fossil of the late Neogene cetotheriid mysticete Herpetocetus is reported from the Lower to Middle Pleistocene Falor Formation of Northern California. This find demonstrates that at least one archaic mysticete survived well into the Quaternary Period, indicating a recent loss of a unique niche and a more complex pattern of Plio-Pleistocene faunal overturn for marine mammals than has been previously acknowledged. This discovery also lends indirect support to the hypothesis that the pygmy right whale (Caperea marginata) is an extant cetotheriid, as it documents another cetotheriid nearly surviving to modern times. Keywords Cetacea; Mysticeti; Cetotheriidae; Pleistocene; California Introduction The four modern baleen whale (Cetacea: Mysticeti) families include fifteen gigantic filter-feeding species.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF DAVID WAYNE HANSON for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in GEOLOGY presented on June 1, 1981 Title: SURFACE AND SUBSURFACE GEOLOGY OF THE SIMI VALLEY AREA, VENTUR COUNTY, CALIFORNIA Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy r. Robertt'. Yeats Surface and subsurface mapping are combined to deter- mine the structure and geologic history of the eastern half of the Simi fault in the Simi Valley area. Upper Cretaceous rocks exposed south and east of the Simi Valley are overlain unconformably by the nonmarine Simi Conglomer- ate of Paleocene age. The Marine Paleocene unit conform- ably overlies and is locally interbedded with the Simi Conglomerate; it is composed of Simi Conglomerate clasts that were reworked during a marine transgression. Silt- stone of the Santa Susana Formation conformably overlies the Marine Paleocene unit, disconforntably overlies the Simi Conglomerate, and was deposited in a deepening marine basin. The overlying Liajas Formation was deposited dur- ing a marine regressive-transgressive-regressive cycle. The latter regression continued in late Eocene time with deposition of the overlying nonmarine Sespe Formation. Extension and normal faulting followed deposition of the Sespe, with the early Miocene Vaoueros Formation being deposited unconformably over the Sespe. Formation of the Sirni anticline and Sirni fault occurredafter deposi- tion of the Vaqueros and prior to the depositionof the Conejo Volcanics, and resulted in 3850 feet(1173 m) of separation along the Simi fault in thewestern part of the study area. The Conejo Volcanics were erupted into a structurally controlled marine basin in the Santa Monica Mountains-Conejo Hills area during the middleMiocene.
