Scientific paper

The rate of crater formation on Mars is calculated to be about 25 times
higher than that on the Moon. The crater density observed by Mariner IV
points to an age only one-sixth that of the lunar maria, or 300 to 800
million years. Hence no conclusions can presently be drawn from these
photographs concerning the early Martian environment.
