study, Leake (1982) attempted to distinguish intercrater plains of different ages
on the basis of degree of degradation of craters superposed or embayed by the
intercrater plains. She found that these materials were emplaced over a time
period ...

Exploring the Solar System
Two general types of plains units are usually recognized on Mercury: intercrater
plains and smooth plains. The relative abundance of craters on the intercrater
plains indicates that they are older. The intercrater plains are widespread and, ...

Dynamic Planet: Mercury in the Context of its Environment
Much of the evidence of the bombardment, including the larger, older craters,
were largely, although not completely, superposed by the Intercrater plains,
indicating that intercrater plains formation, and the core formation process which
caused ...

The Cambridge Guide to the Solar System
Mercury's craters are also less densely packed than their counterparts on the
Moon, possibly due to volcanism that obscured the older craters on Mercury and
created extensive intercrater plains not found in the lunar highlands.

The Earth in Context: A Guide to the Solar System
Volcanism has clearly played a major role in forming the surface of Mercury, but
this was of the plains-forming variety, and there is little evidence of edifices such
as shields. domes or cones. Intercrater plains In about 30 per cent of the ...

Planetary Crusts: Their Composition, Origin and Evolution
However, although the planet, like the Moon, has also undergone an early heavy
bombardment, there are few craters with diameters less than 50 km, the smaller
ones having been covered during the formation of the intercrater plains [17].
S. Ross Taylor, Scott McLennan, 2009
The older intercrater plains are the most extensive terrain on Mercury (Fig. 2.15).
They both partially fill and are superimposed by craters in the heavily cratered
uplands. Intercrater plains were emplaced over a range of ages
contemporaneous ...

Encyclopedia of the Solar System
Older, intercrater plains (Figure 13.12, right) are the most extensive terrain on
Mercury. They differ from smooth plains mainly in having a greater density of
superimposed small craters. They are probably responsible for burying a
substantial ...
