Description
The Birt Rille is a slightly curved ~50 km long channel that starts and ends in a pit. Presumably the north end is its origin for the rille/pit there widens and elongates and bisects a low dome. Thierry LeGault's excellent image reveals a short parallel rille that cuts the western edge of the dome. His image also shows a series of offsets in the rille just south of the elongated pit, and a major offset half-way down the rille. Such offsets are unlikely in a lava channel/tube made by flowing lava - which is the origin for sinuous rilles - and suggests that faulting has occurred. But the association of the rille with the dome is strongly indicative of a lava channel origin, so the implication is that the small scale faulting occurred later. This is an uncomfortable interpretation because there is no evidence of faults in the lava except for the offsets. This is officially weird. - tychocrater tychocrater Jun 30, 2007
