Re: lunar craters
Hi!
Could you please specify which type of craters you are especially interested in? By lunar craters, do you mean you would like to look into visually estimating the age of moon craters? In that case, this would be a cool link to look at-

Re: lunar craters
Hi,
Here are a few more resources on age dating lunar craters:

http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/LPSC98/pdf/1423.pdf
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/full/1960PASP...72..393K
http://muller.lbl.gov/pages/crateringrates.htm

http://erode.evsc.virginia.edu/papers/c ... _lunar.pdf
http://books.google.com/books?id=7Q49AA ... 3#PPA79,M1
This looks like a rather active area of scientific investigation, and could be rather fascinating!
I wish you the very best of success in this project.
