Evolution of a meteorite crater as a process of random displacements [PDF]
An examination of the ages and sizes of 114 terrestrial impact craters shows that their aging kinetics can be described by the diffusion laws. The macrodiffusion coefficient which determines random displacements of mineral masses on the Earth has a mean ...

Search for impact ejecta at the Paleocene–Eocene boundary
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Almost 10 years have passed since microtektites and microkrystites were reported for the Paleocene–Eocene (P–E) boundary in drill cores and outcrop in New Jersey and in ODP Hole 1051B in the western North Atlantic. The glassy spherules were interpreted to reflect an impact trigger for the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM).

The Astrophysical Journal LettersImpact cratering is the most common geological process occurring on terrestrial planets. The morphologies of impact craters reflect not only the impact conditions but the target properties as well.

A geophysical investigation of the Roter Kamm impact crater, Namibia
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The Roter Kamm impact crater is located in the southern Namib Desert. The crater has a diameter of 2.5 km and belongs to the category of simple, bowl‐shaped impact craters, with an elevated rim of fractured target rock. The crater's interior is completely buried beneath sediments, preventing extensive surface investigations of the bedrock ...

Morphologic studies of the Moon and planets [PDF]
The impact, volcanic, and tectonic history of the Moon and planets were investigated over an eight year period. Research on the following topics is discussed: lunar craters, lunar basins, lunar volcanoes, correlation of Apollo geochemical data, lunar ...

Static recrystallization of shocked calcite in Ries impact breccias
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Calcite is prone to chemical and microstructural modifications, especially after having been strained at high stresses and strain rates, as during hypervelocity impact events. These modifications include precipitation from pore fluid as well as replacement of strained volumes by recrystallization. In calcite aggregates of a metagranite breccia

Non-random cratering flux in recent time [PDF]
Proposed periodic cycles of mass mortality have been linked to periodic changes in the impact flux on Earth. Such changes in the impact flux, however, also should be recorded on the Moon.

Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Effect of impact angle on central-peak/peak-ring formation and crater collapse on Venus [PDF]
Although asymmetry in ejecta patterns and craters shape-in-plan are commonly cited as diagnostic features of impact angle, the early-time transfer of energy from impactor to target also creates distinctive asymmetries in crater profile with the greatest ...
