Abstract
⺠The lack of inter-crater plains is in part due to loss of fall back ejecta. ⺠Weathering and mass wasting creates honeycomb pattern of old craters. ⺠Fresher craters exhibit upper slopes that are still undergoing erosional retreat. ⺠This style of erosion is consistent with sublimation loss of topography-supporting cement.
