Anybody got crater images?

    Would appreciate any images/collections of impact craters, ghost craters, possible craters. Thanks in advance.

    Hi!

    You are hunting for them in wrong place. Polar areas (all the images in this project) have very young surface. It has a lot of ice and changes very fast, so craters don't get preserved here, especially small ones that would fit into the frames we cut here. I know only couple examples of craters in these areas.
    But good luck with the hunt anyway!

    Thanks for reply. I expected them to be rare, hence the cry for help.
    Might I have caught one of these rarities here: http://www.planetfour.org/subjects/standard/50e740ec5e2ed21240002f93.jpg

    If not, do you have any special comments, or is it just a regular 'emission point' / plume hole (you know what I mean) 😃 Thanks.

    I've come across some, usually tiny 'dents' that look a lot like craters, i will try to keep in mind to tag them for you 😃

    Many thanks MarsGazer - very kind. At the risk of sounding ungrateful (which I assure you I'm not), my interest lies in more 'substantial' craters / possible craters. Let's say that if you found a potential crater, you'd only get half a dozen of them in the same image - something like that. As Portiankina said earlier, it's gonna be tough finding any (and I understand why) so don't fret that you never see one 😃 I have my own reasons for searching. Thanks again.
