The Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC) is interpreted as the solidified impact melt body of the 1.850-Ga Sudbury structure. We present first results of thermal modeling for this about 250 km seized multiring impact structure. Cooling of the impact melt sheet form the initial temperature of 2000 K to below liquidus at 1450 K lasted about 100 ka, and below the solidus at 1270 K, about 300 ka. The Offset Dikes, consisting of differentiated melt material, were formed within 500 ka after the impact event. Uncertainties to these time constraints are on the order of a factor of 2.
