Abstract
⺠We count small craters on both young and old surfaces using LROC and Kaguya data. ⺠Craters in 2 diameter ranges are counted for each counting area and then compared. ⺠Discrepancies occur in the results and the contamination of secondaries is one reason. ⺠Steep upturns in size distributions are caused by secondaries but not primaries. ⺠Lunar and martian small primaries have flat slopes like the Population 2 craters.
