Abstract
A multivariate analysis of crater-filling classes for craters larger than 10 km diameter on Mercury constrains the process of intercrater plains emplacement to have been one that affected both the intercrater plains and the densely cratered terrain in a similar manner. Any emplacement process considerably restricted in time, such as ejecta from a single basin or an episode of volcanic eruptions that was brief compared to the time span of the late heavy bombardment, violates the observations.
