Scientific paper

The orientation and distribution of diagnostic shock-produced planar features in quartz has been examined in over 80 samples from both the core and collar rocks of the Vredefort structure in South Africa. It is concluded that, although anomalous, the evidence from planar features in quartz is still consistent with the Vredefort structure being an erosional remnant of a large, complex, impact structure.
