Perron et al. have a new paper ("Evidence for an ancient martian ocean in the topography of deformed shorelines") in the June 14, 2007, issue Nature. There is also an accompanying News and Views piece by Maria Zuber. See the Editor's Summary for a synopsis and links.

There is also a question as to whether shorelines might have been altered due to glaciation effects. Any liquid ocean did probably end its life as a frozen-over body of water, which could have induced glaciation effects, especially around the fringes (which happen to be the shorelines).
We shouldn't necessarily expect that ancient Martian shorelines will resemble ancient Terrestrial analogues. -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain
