Craters: Terrestrial Impact

Scientific paper

While there has been a considerable amount of study into understanding the impact craters, cratering mechanisms, the meteorites and their parent bodies, relatively little consideration has been given to the small meteoritic particles that are created as a result of the meteorite's passage through the atmosphere and subsequent impact. We present an analysis of soil samples from three young terrestrial impact craters, the Odessa craters in Texas and the Dalgaranga and Veevers impact craters in Western Australia. The Dalgaranga crater is of special interest since it is the only crater known to be formed by the impact of a mesosiderite. At the Odessa and Dalgaranga craters small meteoritic fragments are very abundant and their total calculated mass is much greater than the mass of recovered meteorites.
