  The Inscription on the Moorlands Patera
In July 2003, the Portable Antiquities Scheme in the U.K. announced the discovery by amateur metal detectorists in the county of Staffordshire of a well-preserved, enameled alloy pan (or patera), which was inscribed with a text of geographical importance.
This so-called “Moorlands patera” or “Staffordshire cup” is one of three extant examples of inscribed cups from the Roman imperial era — perhaps commemorative souvenirs — carrying the names of certain western forts along Hadrian’s Wall.
The second example is known to scholars as the “Amiens patera” (or, the “Amiens skillet”) on account of its 1949 findspot in France.

It may be that the material of the tholi was more viscous during the eruptions, or it may be because the eruptions that formed the tholi were of small volume, and hence the flows piled up closer to their source.
The paterae (patera means "saucer" in Latin) are widely varied in form; in general they have very shallow slopes and scalloped, complex edges in their summit calderas; many have radial channels on their flanks.
The extreme state of erosion on some of the paterae leads to the conclusion that these are the oldest of the volcanic constructs.

 Alba Patera, Mars: Topography, structure, and evolution of a unique late Hesperian–early Amazonian shield volcano
Dendritic valley networks on the northern flanks of Alba Patera have been interpreted to be evidence of easily erodable material of pyroclastic origin, but new data suggest that these friable deposits and the valley networks may have formed instead during Amazonian climate excursion periods.
The Alba Patera lava apron was emplaced on early Hesperian ridged plains largely during the middle to late Hesperian; stratigraphic relationships suggest that effusive eruptions from Alba Patera interacted with ice-rich deposits in the northern lowlands.
Alba Patera flanking lobes and the summit dome were emplaced in the earliest Amazonian, accompanied by late-stage loading, graben formation, and edifice tilting.

We are mapping MTM quadrangles -20257 and -15257 to determine the precise nature of the boundary between Western Hesperia Planum, Tyrrhena Patera, and the surrounding Noachian-aged highlands.
Results from previous mapping of the Tyrrhena Patera summit region using Viking Orbiter (VO) images indicated that the volcano is composed of 5 principle units: 3 shield material units, rille-floor material, and channel-fill material.
The position of the contact between adjacent plains materials and channel-fill material is cannot be traced westward from the Tyrrhena Patera summit region using VO images, in spite of the presence of dissected shield materials in the area.

They estimate that the northernmost plateau, which bounds the western edge of Zal Patera, rises up to approximately 2 kilometers (6,600 feet) high.
The mountain to the south of the caldera has peaks up to approximately 4.6 kilometers (15,000 feet) high, while the small peak at the bottom of the picture is approximately 4.2 kilometers (14,000 feet) high.
