We shall measure how thick a basic set of a C1 axiom A diffeomorphism of a surface is by the Hausdorff dimension of its intersection with an unstable manifold. This depends continuously on the diffeomorphism. Generically a C2 diffeomorphism has attractors whose Hausdorff dimension is not approximated by the dimension of its ergodic measures.
