Fine tuning the various cratering rates seems to be all the rage lately. It's wonderful how the rover's and HiRise's imagery are adding to the precision of that measurement.

How can you fine tune without numerical ages? Jon: It's all relative, but hopefully some baselines can be established. Geology is like that, though, layers of assumption piled on top of each other to make a consistent story (or stories). Which brings me back to the point I was trying to make earlier regarding the cratering rates both within and without Victoria, and indeed on the dust seas around the crater. I have a feeling that there's a story there - perhaps a numerical test of the micro-crater hypotheses, or some means to date the surface of the plains themselves. It's nagging at me in that way that an idea sometimes does, bubbling up to the muddy surface of my mind...
