The origin of scraps and ridges mapped in the H-12 region of Mercury are discussed. These features apparently are of non-impact origin and show distinctly non-random patterns of distribution and orientation. These patterns cannot be simply related to selective enhancement of visibility by lighting conditions, global stresses of spin down or interior cooling, or local uplifts or subsidences. Suggestions are made that the origin of these structures may lie outside the region of Mercury photographed or the scarps and ridges may have formed by reactivation of faults or joints bounding pre-existing crystal blocks.
