Scientific paper

The Sudbury Structure is presently identified as a plausible terrestrial example of crater floor fracture. A comparison is conducted between the pattern of early crater-centered structures around Sudbury to the fracture patterns in two alternative lunar analogs. The dimensions of the original Sudbury crater forms are modeled, and the implications of the deformation sequence at Sudbury are discussed with a view to the mechanisms of crater-floor fracturing; attention is given to flexure of the basin floor in response to isostatic equilibration.
