The Oxia Palus quadrangle covers the region of 0° to 45° west longitude and 0° to 30° north latitude on Mars . Mars Pathfinder landed in the Oxia Palus quadrangle at 19.13° N and 33.22° W, on July 4, 1997. Crater names in Oxia Palus are a Who's Who for famous scientists. Besides Galilaei and DaVinci , some of the people who discovered the atom and radiation are there: Curie , Becquerel , and Rutherford . [1] NASA's next Mars rover, the Mars Science Laboratory , may be sent to Mawrth Vallis . A variety of clay minerals have been found there. Clay is formed in water, and it is good for preserving microscopic evidence of ancient life. [2] Recently, scientists have found strong evidence for a lake that received drainage from Shalbatana Vallis. The study carried out with HiRISE images indicates that water formed a 30-mile-long canyon that opened up into a valley, deposited sediment, and created a delta. This delta and others around the basin imply the existence of a large, long-lived lake. Of special interest is evidence that the lake formed after the warm, wet period was thought to have ended. So, lakes may have been around much longer than previously thought. [3] [4]
