AMAZONIAN

Amazonian

The Amazonian is a geologic system and time period on the planet Mars characterized by low rates of meteorite and asteroid impacts and by cold, hyperarid conditions broadly similar to those on Mars today. The transition from the preceding Hesperian period is transitional and somewhat poorly defined. The Amazonian is thought to have begun around 3 billion years ago, though error bars on this date are extremely large . The period is sometimes subdivided into the Early, Middle, and Late Amazonian. The Amazonian continues to the present day.
