Scientific paper

In view of the discrepancies in published crater frequency data, effects modifying production size distributions of impact craters are discussed. The resulting criteria are applied to the determination of the size distributions of unmodified impact crater populations in selected lunar regions of different ages. The measured cumulative crater frequencies are used to obtain a general calibration size distribution curve by a normalization procedure. Deviations of measured size distributions from the calibration distribution are strongly suggestive of the existence of processes having modified the primary impact crater population.
