The ocean froze and we see the stuff deposited on top, not the seabed sediments?

That explains very well why the underlying strata is heavily cratered, but covered by the smooth northern basin. Given the Comanche find and the ph at the Phoenix site could we anticipate that the ocean was a neutral or high ph and that there are carbonates down there? Or is that too much of a leap of faith.
