Scalloped topography is common in the mid-latitudes of Mars, between 45° and 60° north and south. It is particularly prominent in the region of Utopia Planitia, [98] [99] in the northern hemisphere, and in the region of Peneus and Amphitrites Paterae [100] [101] in the southern hemisphere. Such topography consists of shallow, rimless ...
