    LPSCXXIV 1515 LARGE FLOOR-FRACTURED CRATERS AND ISOSTATIC CRATER MODIFICATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR LITHOSPHERIC THICKNESS ON VENUS. R.W. Wichman, Dept. of Space Studies, Univ. of North Dakota, Grand Forks, ND 58202-7306 and P.H. Schultz, Dept. of Geological Sciences, Brown Univ., Providence RI 02912 Introduction: Several of the largest craters on Venus, including Mead, Meitner and Isabella, exhibit well-developed floor fracture patterns combining a central set of radial features with a peripheral set of concentric fractures. This pattern strongly resembles the fracture patterns observed in the largest floor- fractured craters on the Moon (eg. Humboldt, Gauss, Petavius). Although most lunar floor-fractured craters apparently reflect crater modification by igneous intrusions and volcanism [I,2,3], we propose that the fractures in these larger craters represent domical flexure events in response to post-impact isostatic uplift. Since the extent of uplift and surface failure in this model depends on both the size of the basin cavity and the local lithospheric thickness, this interpretation also provides a means for constraining lithospheric thicknesses on Venus. Based on the apparent onset diameter of isostatic crater modification, we derive lithospheric thickness estimates for the Moon of -80-100 km, and for Venus of -50-70 km. Large Floor-fractured Craters: As noted in a companion abstract [4], ten craters on Venus show patterns of concentric or polygonal fractures resembling failure patterns observed in lunar floor-fractured craters. These craters are comparable in size (-20-90 km) to most of the lunar examples, and three craters in particular contain well-defined, moat-like structures around a scarp-bounded central floor plate identical to features observed in the most extensively modified craters on the Moon [5].
