in the inner solar system, including Mars, are derived by
extrapolation from the impact flux curve for the Moon which has
been calibrated on the basis of absolute ages of lunar samples.
We reevaluate the lunar flux curve using isotope ages of lunar
samples and the latest views on the lunar stratigraphy and the
principles of relative and absolute age dating of geologic
surface units of the Moon. The geological setting of the Apollo
and Luna landing areas are described as far as they are relevant
for this reevaluation. We derive the following best estimates
for the ages of the multi-ring basins and their related ejecta
blankets and prese
