Chronology and Evolution of Mars Proceedings of an ISSI Workshop, 10–14 April 2000, Bern, Switzerland

Mars is about one-eighth the mass of the Earth and it may provide an analogue of what the Earth was like when it was at such an early stage of accretion. The fur­ ther growth of the Earth was sustained by major collisions with planetesimals and planets such as that which resulted in the formation of...
