Abstract
⺠Tyrrhena Terra Region of Mars studied with orbital datasets. ⺠Numerous detections of phyllosilicates and zeolites associated to impact craters. ⺠Mineralogy and geomorphology indicate exhumation of pre-impact altered rocks. ⺠Mineralogy points to regional low-grade metamorphism or extended hydrothermal systems. ⺠Alluvial deposition in plains may have concentrated altered rocks.
