The cited paper states in its abstract "More elliptical craters are found than past work, orientation of D ≥ 10 km craters are random, and many spatial density trends are discussed". Did you read the discussion and maybe some of the relevant references (or papers referencing this)? You certainly did. It would be nice, if you could summarize for us your findings and insights to see where you stand, and to get us to a point to not pointlessly re-iterate what is known and to find a good place to start answering. It's an interesting question! | |
