Scientific paper

The paper presents and examines new depth data, which have greater accuracy and area coverage than those acquired previously, for fresh Martian craters through shadow measurements on high quality Viking Orbiter photography. Consideration is given to these data in the context of similar measurements of lunar and Mercurian craters, noting that most craters studied are shallower than those on the Moon and Mercury. Finally, processes are described which could account for the observed interior morphometries.
