**Uranius Mons**,[1] formerly **Uranius Patera**, is a volcano on Mars located in the [Tharsis quadrangle](/source/Tharsis_quadrangle), named after a classical albedo feature. The name "Uranius Patera" now refers only to the volcano's central caldera.[2] It is 4,853 metres (15,922 ft) high[3] and has shallow slopes. It belongs to the [Uranius group of volcanoes](/source/Uranius_group_of_volcanoes) in the [Tharsis](/source/Tharsis) area. The sides of Uranius Mons consist of radial lava flows; the large caldera (90×65 km) is elongated in the southwestern direction. The surrounding plains are younger and part of the Tharsis Montes Formation of the [Amazonian epoch](/source/Amazonian_epoch).[4]
