Viking-era researchers concluded that impact craters of diameter D < 50 m were absent on Mars, and thus impact gardening was considered negligible in establishing decameter-scale surface properties. This paper documents martian crater populations down to diameter D โผ 11 m and probably less on Mars,
Inferred wind-related modifications of impact craters are observed in the vicinity of the Mars Pathfinder (MPF) site and in other regions of Mars. Mars Obiter Camera (MOC) images show three types of inferred wind-modified morphologies for craters 0.3-1 km in diameter. Such modifications could be rel
