Abstract
In this work we use a mechanical dislocation program to analyze the fault geometries and depths associated with a group of prominent lobate scarps in Mercury. We obtain depths of faulting of 30-40 km. This range overlaps with those previously obtained for Discovery Rupes and for two unnamed lobate scarps.
