Scientific paper

The Martian polar layered deposits are an excellent source of information on the recent history of the Martian climate. A model has been developed for the production and obliteration of an impact crater population on the layered terrain. The absence of any craters larger than 300 m diameter suggests an upper bound on crater production of the order of 92 +/- 30 Ka.
