Both the Moon and Mars exhibit volcanic modification of impact craters characterized by subfloor intrusions that either lift the old crater floor or result in extrusions of lava. Endogenic modification of martian craters, however, probably has involved interactions between such intrusive bodies and permafrost, as suggested by differences between lunar and martian floor-fractured craters. Such interactions raise the interesting possibility for hydrothermally concentrating ores in a manner analogous to the Sudbury structure on the Earth that may be consistent with interpretations of Viking lander results.
