My opinion is that Skinakas is nothing more than a region relatively free of ray craters, appearing a bit darker than its surroundings. You have to look at the original paper to see how tenuous the basin interpretation was. That sort of study can be done with these early images, there's no need to wait.
Check it out here - figure 9 is the image. http://www.alpo-astronomy.org/mercury/Ksanfomality.pdf Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
