Introduction: One of the most remarkable frictional/constitutive properties of the fault are discoveries of the Mariner 10 mission to Mercury unknown [13, 14]. The magnitude and sense of offset was the existence of hundreds of landforms described are specified along the fault, then the stresses and as lobate scarps [1, 2, 3]. Based on morphology and material displacements are completely determined offsets in crater wall and floor materials, lobate using the stress functions for an elastic halfspace scarps are interpreted to be the surface expression of [15]. An acceptable match between the model and the thrust faulting [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The largest lobate scarp topography constrains admissible values. We then on the hemisphere imaged by Mariner 10 is calculate the displacement vectors to predict changes Discovery Rupes. Located in the southern in topography due to the surface-breaking thrust fault hemisphere, Discovery Rupes is over 500 km in beneath Discovery Rupes. length [1, 2]. New topographic data for Mercury, Results and Implications: Iteratively adjusting derived from digital stereoanalysis, using updated the displacement D, fault dip θ, and depth of faulting Mariner 10 camera orientations [6, 7], indicates that T, good fits to the topography are obtained for a Discovery Rupes is up to ~1.5 km high [4, 5]. These relatively narrow range of the fault parameters data are also providing the first quantitative (Figure 2, 3). Depths of faulting T < 30 km and T > measurements about the morphometry of Discovery 40 km (Figure 2) produce unacceptable fits to the Rupes. Using the new topographic data, it is possible topography. The best fits to the topography across to test the validity of kinematic models proposed for Discovery Rupes are for a depth of faulting T = 35 to lobate scarps by mechanically modeling the long and 40 km, fault dip angle θ = 30° to 35°, and D = 2.2 km short wavelength topography across Discovery (Figure 4).

Our results suggest that the Discovery Rupes The derived digital elevation model (DEM) has a grid thrust fault cuts the mercurian crust to a depth of up spacing of 2 km/pixel (Figure 1) [also see 9, 10]. to 40 km.

The extends to a depth of 36 km (with a uniform dip of average relief of the scarp in this area is about 1.3 km 30° to 35°) [16], cutting the entire elastic lithosphere (Figure 2) [4]. The new topographic data reveal a Te. On Earth’s continents, Te typically coincides with shallow trough roughly 100 km west of the base of the thickness of the seismogenic crust Ts (ranging the scarp (Figure 1). This trough is interpreted to be from ~10-40 km), with Te often less than Ts [17, 18]. evidence of a trailing syncline and the distance On Mars, the Amenthes Rupes thrust fault extends to between it and the surface break defines the cross- a depth comparable to estimates of Te for the strike dimension of the upper plate of the Discovery highlands [19] (~20-30 km) [20, 21].

We test the validity of the thrust fault origin largest lobate scarp known on the planet. Our modeling indicates the proposed for lobate scarps by forward mechanical modeling structure overlies a thrust fault that extends deep into Mercury’s constrained by topography across Discovery Rupes. lithosphere. The best-fitting fault parameters are a depth of faulting [3] Estimates of the maximum thickness of Mercury’s crust range from to 200 to 300 km [Schubert et al., 1988; Spohn, 1991; of 35 to 40 km, a fault dip of 30° to 35°, and a displacement of Anderson et al., 1996; Nimmo, 2002].

Assuming the limiting isotherm for Mercury’s crust is 300° to Although Mercury’s early lithosphere was probably thinner, there 600°C and it occurred at a depth of 40 km, the corresponding heat is no evidence to support this hypothesis.

Her concerns seemed less arcane, her presentation more appealingly worked out; as Guy Scarpetta put it in he Nouvel Observateur (May 19, 1980), she now intro- duced into "theoretical rigor an effective measure of seduction." Actually, no sudden change has taken place: the features that are noticeable in Powers of Horror were already in evidence in several earlier essays, some of which have been translated in Desire in Language (Columbia University Press, 1980).
