  abstract = {{A}ges of geological units of planetary bodies are determined from impact crater counts on their surface. {T}hese ages are model-dependent, and several models largely used in the community assume a constant production function and a constant cratering rate over the last 3 {G}a. {W}e have mapped the population of small impact craters (>200 m in diameter) formed over a population of large impact craters (>5 km in diameter) with layered ejecta on {A}cidalia {P}lanitia, {M}ars. {W}e have deduced the age of each large impact crater under the assumption of a constant impact rate and constant production function. {T}he impact rate inferred from this set of ages is, however, not constant and show a significant increasing during the last similar to 1 {G}a compared to chronology models commonly used. {W}e interpret this inconsistency as an evidence for temporal variations in the size-frequency distribution ({SFD}) of impactors in the main belt, consistent with recent studies argued for a late increasing of the large impactor flux on {E}arth and the {M}oon.},
