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 βΌ 11 m and probably less on Mars,

The effect of impactor obliquity and shape on crater evolution for a typical celestial impact event is examined in this numerical study. An important overall finding is that for a given obliquity angle, crater volume is not independent of impactor shape. The most varied behavior occurs at large obli
