1995; Cabrol and Grin, 1999, 2001). Despite the lack of direct geomorphological evidence that the majority of Mars’s surface was ever covered by standing water, the term “ocean” has been applied to temporary ancient inundations of the northern plains, which did not persist through the whole history of the planet. , 1986), inundation of the northern plains has been most controversially tied to identifications of “shorelines” made by Parker et al. (1989, 1993). Failure to confirm some of the shoreline landforms on the newer Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) imagery led some to reject the ocean hypothesis (Malin and Edgett, 1999, 2001), though it is only various shoreline interpretations that can be rejected in this manner, not the hypothesis of plains inundation.
