Fig. 1: XM2-based geologic map of Occator crater’s interior, and derived thicknesses.

From: The varied sources of faculae-forming brines in Ceres’ Occator crater emplaced via hydrothermal brine effusion

Fig. 1

a The geologic map is shown on the basemap at a scale of 1:200,000 and with a simple cylindrical projection. The basemap is shown with no mapping in Supplementary Fig. 4. A high-resolution JPEG, stand-alone version of the geologic map is available as Supplementary Data 1. b Detail of the geologic map with thicknesses of Cerealia Facula, Vinalia Faculae, and Pasola Facula derived from: superposing impact craters with dark (white text in black box) or bright (black text in white box) ejecta; an outcrop of bright material (marked by the white square symbol); and fractures on Cerealia Tholus. When thickness estimates were derived for a particular region, the region is defined with a black ellipse. Each thickness estimate is associated to an ellipse by a black arrow.
