Brief Abstract Summary
Initial mapping of the portion of Wawalag Planitia in SE Stanton Quadrangle reveals a complex pattern of extensional lineament systems & these are provisionally interpreted to represent dyke swarms. Both radiating and circumferential swarms have been identified & these both are associated with magmatic centres.
