We catalog and measure craters with complex and peak-ring morphologies on the Moon. The lunar trends in peak-ring and rim-crest diameters are similar to those on Mercury. Transitions in morphology are plausibly a function of changing melt volumes and depths of melting. Planetary parameters, gravity and mean impactor velocity, influence the final crater interior morphology.
