Scientific paper

Isostatic rebound and mega-slumpings are important processes in the modification of large craters. Beside the examples for these on Mercury, Moon, Earth, Callisto (possibly Venus and Mars) we have good images from Europa. Analysis of internal rings and benches of great (usually greater than 100 km) craters and palimpsests help in the reconstruction of formation. The its young, pristine and tectonically homogene surfaced Europa can improve our knowledge in the reconstruction of crater basin formation.
