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