The Karla impact structure (Russia) explored by potential‐field investigations
Abstract With no significant topographic expression and limited bedrock exposure, the ~10 km diameter Karla impact structure (Tatarstan, Russia) is poorly known. The age of the impact is also poorly constrained stratigraphically to between 4 and 60 Ma, even if an upper Miocene age is more likely.

Ore bearing factors of breaking-block structures of the Ukrainian shield
Most ore occurrences and mineral deposits are known to be located in tectonic fault zones. In this regard, the article analyzes the ore content of regional and local fault zones developed in the megastructures of the Ukrainian shield: Podolsky, Volynsky,

Abstract Impact crater central peaks and peak ring complexes are important exploration targets for future missions to other planetary bodies, because they provide access to material uplifted from lower crustal levels. Material exposed there could also provide chronological constraints on crater formation events. Therefore, it is essential to understand

Metallogeny of the Lyapinsky megablock (Subpolar Urals)
Purpose of the work: elucidation of the geological structure, manifestations of magmatism, geodynamics and metallogeny of one of the largest segments of the paleocontinental sector of the Lyapin megablock in the Urals. The peculiarity of the metallogenic specialization of the latter for uranium, thorium, rare metals, gold, optical quartz caused both ...

Constraints on the origins of iron silicide spherules in ultrahigh‐temperature distal impact ejecta
Abstract Terrestrially occurring iron silicide spherules, described in the geological literature for 160 years as cosmogenic and approved as “extraterrestrial” minerals by IMA CNMMN in 1984, so far have escaped any serious examination by meteoriticists.

In what way can the study of megablock typologies in the PRD deliver better insight in terms of process and scales of Chinese urbanization? In the Chinese context, the ‘collective’ has stood central to its urbanisms and processes of urbanization (Lu, 2006).

Cosmic impact versus terrestrial origin of the Azuara structure (Spain): A review [PDF]
20 páginas, 9 figuras, 1 tabla.The Azuara structure is the largest one proposed so far in Spain as possibly related to a cosmic impact event. A review of the evidence set forward in favor of and against its cosmic origin indicates that the discussion is ...

The Lapland greenstone belt: Stratigraphic and depositional features in northern Finland [PDF]
The Lapland greenstone belt formed in a continental environment, as a result of rifting of the 3.1—3.0 Ga Saamian craton. The basin subsided to a depth of five kilometres between 3.0—2.5 Ga and contains a sequence which is subdivided into Lower, Middle ...
