Despinning plus global contraction and the orientation of lobate scarps on Mercury: Predictions for MESSENGER

Observations by the Mariner 10 spacecraft suggest that the lobate scarps on Mercury, which have been interpreted to record at most 1–2 km of radial contraction of the planet after the end of the Late Heavy Bombardment, possess a global, preferred N–S orientation but lack a strong latitudinal depende...
