From counts of postbasin craters larger than 30 km in diameter, lying within or near to seven giant front face lunar basins, relative ages for the basins may be obtained. These relative ages correlate well with absolute basin ages found from viscosity arguments in R. B. Baldwin (1987). From crater counts the basins are in the following sequence of increasing relative age: Orientale, Imbrium, Crisium, Serenitatis, Nectaris, Humorum, and the unnamed basin lying between Werner and the Altai ring. The absolute ages from Baldwin (1987) range from 3.80 to 4.30×109years while a correlation with the relative ages of this paper yields a range of 3.79 to 4.27×109years.
