Scientific paper

The group of Macha impact craters in western Yakutia is represented by five crateriform structures from 60 to 300 m in diameter. The craters were formed in sandy strata of the Quaternary period and in underlying sedimentary rocks of Late Proterozoic ages. Shock metamorphic effects including planar features in quartz were established in the rocks from the craters. The age of the craters is 7315 +/- 80 yr. The nature of the projectiles is not totally clear, although they might be iron meteoritic.
