In the early years following the recognition of meteorite impact cratering as an important geological process within the Solar System, impact researchers were largely confined to inferring cratering mechanics from studies of surface crater morphologies and small-scale experiments. With the advent of sophisticated computer-based numerical simulations and high-resolution geophysics, however, researchers have begun to explore more fully the detailed 3-D structure of craters and the processes that give rise to them. This paper examines some of the issues raised by the model simulations from the perspective of the field evidence presented in impact structures, with particular reference to the Vredefort structure in South Africa.
