Earth: Meteorite Impacts

Scientific paper

The ≡50 km wide Vredefort structure appears to present the eroded roots of an area affected by rapid uplift and violent rock deformation - widely regarded as shock deformation - on an immense scale. The origin of the structure is disputed: external (impact) and internal agencies have been suggested. This note introduces the Vredefort structure and its geological environment, emphasizing information published in the decade prior to the 1987 International Workshop on Cryptoexplosions and Catastrophes in the Geological Record, with a Special Focus on the Vredefort Structure.
