Description

Data files for Figures 3 and S1 of the manuscript.  These are craters counted in slump and ejecta units for the purpose of comparing their relative ages.

The directory sf_shapefiles contains subdirectories for the 20 craters for which a slump unit and an ejecta unit had crater counts performed.  The AREA_* shapefiles are polygons that outline the area studied, and the CRATER_* files are the individual craters counted.  These files were created using CraterTools (https://www.geo.fu-berlin.de/en/geol/fachrichtungen/planet/software/_content/software/index.html) in ArcGIS, but that software is not necessary to use the shapefiles. 

The subdirectory SFD_figs_color and SFC_suppl_figs_color are, respectively, the CraterStats (https://www.geo.fu-berlin.de/en/geol/fachrichtungen/planet/software/_content/software/index.html) files used to generate Figure 3 of the main manuscript and Supplemental Figure S1.  Each crater comprises a subdirectory of those main directories.  Within each subdirectory, the *.plt file is the file directing CraterStats how to make the figure.  The *.png file is the output figure from CraterStats, and the *.jpg file is the .png file after it has been cropped and the error bars have been changed from grey to black.  The *.txt file provides the output from CraterStats that, among other things, provides the data fit of isochrons to the data.  The *.diam files are data extracted from the shapefiles and provide the input into Craterstats.  They have the lat-lon-diameter information on the craters and the counting area.  All of these are commented text files, so you don’t need CraterStats to look at them and use them.
