Scientific paper

The Vredefort structure is the oldest and the largest known cryptoexplosion structure on earth. The geology includes all the principal metamorphic facies in the crust and records a long and complex thermo-tectonic history which dates back to at least 3.5 Ga. The overall impression of the Vredefort structure is that it is a relic of an ancient meteorite impact crater, but that there were thermo-tectonic events which occurred both prior to and after the postulated impact event, which complicates the interpretation of its origin.
