Blocky Rocks: Behavior, Complex Crater Formation, Craters: Impact
Scientific paper
Vorotilov Deep Borehole (maximum depth is 5374 m) has been drilled at the central uplift at the Puchezh-Katunki impact crater. The estimated rim crater diameter is about 40 km. Core recovery is about 70% of penetration with coring. The recovery core investigation allows to estimate the blocky structure of hard rocks inside the central uplift. Up to depth of 3 km the block size along the borehole is about 100 m. Such blocks survived with a minor or medium damage the passage of a shock wave with an amplitude 20 to 40 GPa, the downward displacement at 6 to 10 km during the transient crater growth and the consequent upward displacement to the final position inside the central uplift. The proper model of large scale crater formation should take into account the discrete character of rock deformations. With measured block size, the deformation seems to be highly localized at inter-block boundaries.
