Abstract
⺠Measured crater depth to diameter ratios on Mercury from data obtained by the MESSENGER spacecraft. ⺠The depths of simplefresh craters follow pervious observations by the Mariner 10 spacecraft. ⺠Increasing crater degradation makes both simple and complex craters shallower. ⺠Impact velocity with target strength may affect the transition from simple to complex craters.
