Scientific paper

We present two different views of the bombardment history of the Moon and Mars. One is based on craters counts on lunar surface units of known radiometric age, which are then extrapolated into the more distant past [e.g., 1]. We call this the "standard chronology". The other one is based on a dynamical model of the evolution of the Solar System known as the "Nice model" [2]. We refer to it here as the "Nice chronology". Here we discuss how these two views have influenced our interpretation of the geological evolution of the planets, as it can be deduced from their cratering records. This abstract focuses on the Moon. Martian surfaces will be discussed at the conference.
