  Description:

    Abstract:

      The quadrangle includes most of Galileo Regio, the largest

      region of

      contiguous dark materials on Ganymede. With the exception

      of the dark polar caps on Io, Galileo Regio is the only

      surface feature on the Galilean satellites easily

      identifiable from Earth (Smith and others, 1979b). That

      part of the regio in this quadrangle is a subcircular area

      of dark cratered material about 3,000 km across. It is in

      Ganymede's anti-Jovian hemisphere, whose central longitude

      isapproximately 180° (Smith and others, 1979a,b). The

      mappable area of the quadrangle is limited in the east by

      the terminator and in the north by the limb. The geologic

      mapping of the quadrangle followed the principles set forth

      by (1972). The map units were identified on the basis

      of albedo,

      morphology, crater density, and geometric pattern.

    Purpose:

    Supplemental_Information:

      The first geologic map of Ganymede and thus of the Galileo

      Regio quadrangle was the preliminary, small-scale

      (1:42,500,000) map (Ferguson and others, 1982) of that part

      of Ganymede imaged by Voyager spacecraft; this map

      accompanied the description of the geology by Shoemaker and

      others (1982). A geologic map of Galileo Regio also was

      prepared by Casacchia and Strom (1984, scale

      1:16,800,000), and a geologic map of the Galileo Regio

      quadrangle was made by Teeling (1986, scale 1:5,000,000).

    Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

      All attributes created during the creation process were

      verified by displaying the lines in both the database and

      the spatial coverage, but no formal tests were performed.

  Logical_Consistency_Report:

    These data are believed to be logically consistent, though

    no tests were performed. Line geometry is topologically clean.
