I suspect this has more to do with the relative ages of the surfaces than the cratering rates. Maria are nearly absent from the lunar farside, and the nearside Maria have erased the evidence of earlier impact cratering. --Rob ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
