Is it just me or does almost every other "fresher" crater in Doug's combined image here seem to have a scarp bisecting the crater?

Makes you kind of wonder if the crust of Mercury may have extensive deep magma reservoirs above the Hermian equivalent of the Mohorovicic Discontinuity; too deep to produce vulcanism, but enough to cause slumping & shifting after a major impact. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
