The present study is concerned with the determination of the geometry, thickness, volumes, and style of emplacement of lava extruded onto an ancient planetary crust, giving particular attention to crustal regions characterized by the topography of impact basins. Attempts to establish thicknesses and volumes are based on four approaches, related to crater morphometry, crater penetration, stratigraphy, and geophysical techniques. The considered technique is applied to two areas related to lunar impact areas. The Orientale basin is investigated, taking into account the style of flooding, the geometry of deposits and implications for loading of the lithosphere, and aspects of lava thickness and vertical mixing. An analysis of the Archimedes-Apennine Bench region is also conducted, giving attention to the number of data points, rim heights of fresh lunar craters, and the premare nature of impact crater data points.
