Dr. Warren B. Hamilton (Distinguished Senior Scientist Department of Geophysics, Colorado School of Mines) has two summary papers about the geology of Venus, including notes about impact craters online and downloadable from his web page at:
http://inside.mines.edu/~whamilto/ The papers are: Hamilton, W. B., 2007, An alternative Venus. in G. R. Foulger and D. M. Jurdy, eds., pp. 879-914, Plates, Plumes and Planetary Processes. Geological Society of America Special Paper 430. http://inside.mines.edu/~whamilto/H07_AltVenus_red.pdf Hamilton, W. B., 2005, Plumeless Venus preserves an ancient impact-accretionary surface, in G.
