Scientific paper

Fullerenes (C(60), C(70)) have been identified by laser time-of-flight and electron-ionization mass spectroscopy in rock samples (black tuff in the Onaping formation) from the crater. They were likely synthesized within the impact plume from carbon contained in the meteorite. The isotopic ratios suggest C-13 enrichment. They are associated with sulfur which may have protected them. This is the largest known deposit of naturally occurring fullerenes.
