Hamilton

D=58 km
Center: 43°S, 84°E

Count Area: 209 km^2
Observed Density (@ 1km): 9800 ± 6900
Age: 3.8 ± 0.1 (+sec: 3.9)
Stoffler epoch: Early Imbrian
Fit Density (@ 1km): 14600 ± 2300
PF fit: OK

Age calculation notes:
Minimum number of data points. Large crater bins fall below MPF, otherwise fit good. Used Melosh gravity scaling.

USGS geology: 
Eratosthenian

Wilhelms: 
Eratosthenian

Floor material: 
Crater is deep. Small peak that is a cluster of hills, but doesn't look very eroded. Most is hummocky with a few small smooth areas. Possible collapse in the north (avoided). Best guess is original and impact melt.

Geology Observations: 
Ejecta blanket visible, but no rays observed in WAC. Secondary field partially visible. Rim slightly eroded, more so for the northern portion - may be covered by ejecta from younger cratered formed just to the north. A couple of secondary chains/clusters with craters up to a km in size. Surrounded by craters filled with mare.

SFD Observations: 
Dominated by class 3, then class 4. Flat to steep distribution. No shallow "right ear". Classes have similar shape. Slope(Diff)=-4.0 ± 0.5 Secondaries appear shallower. Slope(sec)=-3.1 ± 0.0
