Mapping Terrestrial Impact Craters with the TanDEM-X Digital Elevation Model

open access: yes, 2013
The TanDEM-X mission generates a global digital elevation model (DEM) with unprecedented properties. We use it for mapping confirmed terrestrial impact craters as listed in the Earth Impact Database.

Revisiting the Hummeln structure, Sweden—A shallow marine Cambrian impact structure

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Hummeln is a simple impact structure located in south‐eastern Sweden. It is approximately 1.2 km in diameter and almost completely covered by a lake. Here, we present the first detailed investigation of impactites and mapping of the 164.25 m deep drill core Hummeln‐1 with a focus on impact metamorphism and the impact process.

Impact‐diagnostic criteria for use in confirming a meteorite impact origin of terrestrial geological structures: Recommendations by the Impact Cratering Committee of the Meteoritical Society

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The framework of the Impact Cratering Committee (ICC) of the Meteoritical Society was approved in 2020, with the first committee members appointed in 2023. The ICC has a mandate to (1) approve, maintain, and update a database of confirmed terrestrial meteorite impact structures, (2) define and regularly update the criteria used for ...

Geochemical investigation of impactites from the Boltysh impact structure and possible relationship to early Danian sediments from the Umbria–Marche Basin, Italy

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the Danian Scaglia Rossa Formation appears a regionally correlatable horizon cutting across multiple sections and outcrops within the Umbria–Marche Basin of NE Italy, where it is intercalated with uniform pelagic carbonate successions. This horizon is called “ALE layer” and has tentatively been interpreted as a fine‐grained volcanic ash.

Visible, near‐, and thermal infrared spectra of asteroid Bennu samples: Relationship to and implications for remote sensing of carbonaceous asteroids

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Remote spectroscopy is used to characterize the mineralogy and infer the history of planetary bodies. Carbonaceous asteroids, such as B‐type (101955) Bennu, represent the earliest stages of planet formation. B types have a blue (negative) spectral slope and comprise <5% of asteroids.

The role of composition in the spectral evolution of carbonaceous asteroids as informed by Bennu sample return

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Near‐Earth rubble‐pile asteroids Bennu and Ryugu are part of the carbonaceous taxonomic complex (C‐complex), and samples returned from both bodies resemble the most aqueously altered carbonaceous chondrites. However, telescopic and spacecraft visible–near infrared (VIS–NIR) reflectance spectra of Ryugu exhibit a red (positive) spectral slope ...

Geology of the central uplift of the Kamestastin Lake impact structure, Labrador, Canada

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The ~28 km Kamestastin (Mistastin) Lake impact structure is a relatively well‐preserved and well‐exposed complex impact structure. The central uplift of this structure is accessible as two islands in the middle of Kamestastin Lake. We present an updated, detailed geological map and description of Horseshoe and Bullseye islands that provides ...

Raman analysis of organic refractory materials after energetic processing: Evidence for amorphous carbon on TNOs and comets

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Amorphous carbon (αC) is found in various extraterrestrial particles, including those thought to originate from the outer Solar System. αC can form through two main processes involving C‐rich materials: exposure to energetic charged particles and thermal processing.

The Ames impact structure, Oklahoma: New radioisotopic constraints and implications for North American impact chronology

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract The Ames impact structure (Oklahoma) is thought to have formed during the Ordovician Meteor Event, based on conodont biostratigraphy of its crater fill. Here, U–Pb zircon dates from its impact‐melt portion, conducted using secondary ion mass spectrometry and laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (n = 37 spots), yield a ...
