“…The shape of the curve may be distorted by considering large and small crater diameters separately, and this is reflected in the diversity of shapes of the various models. Nevertheless, this fact led to the idea that the projectile population changed over time (Fassett et al, 2012a,b;Head et al, 2010;Strom et al, 2005;Werner, 2008), which violates the traditional postulate that the source region of the projectile population, planetary orbits, and the mass distribution within the solar system have never been reconfigured over its lifetime. Marchi et al (2012a) argued for the significance of velocity effects for craters around 45-60 km diameter on about 4 Ga old lunar surfaces, resulting from the postulated 'Nice event' during the migration of giant planets.…”
