Scientific paper

When choosing between different scenarios of Venus' resurfacing history, one of the objections against an Equilibrium Resurfacing Model (ERM) is an apparent lack of craters that have suffered a partial embayment by lava flows of outside origin. Any test of ERM so far, be it numeric or analytic in nature, has failed to predict anything even near the observed ~5% of partly embayed craters (PECs) without violating the statistics of crater distribution. This study is mainly based on straightening out as many as possible of the simplifications that have been employed while estimating the statistical implications of the ERM. As a result, the expectation value for PECs falls to less than 10% from previous ~30%.
