The number of newly discovered and confirmed impact structures on earth is growing
continuously. In this review paper, the main attributes of 198 confirmed impact structures and …

Hypervelocity impact processes are uniquely capable of generating shock metamorphism,
which causes mineralogical transformations and deformation that register pressure (P) and …

This article presents a current (as of September 2019) list of recommended ages for proven
terrestrial impact structures (n= 200) and deposits (n= 46) sourced from the primary …

More than 50 years of space and planetary exploration and concomitant studies of terrestrial
impact structures have demonstrated that impact cratering has been a fundamental process …

U–Pb geochronology of shocked monazite can be used to date hypervelocity impact events.
Impact-induced recrystallisation and formation of mechanical twins in monazite have been …

Abstract 40 Ar/39 Ar dating of specimens of moldavite, the formation of which is linked to the
Ries impact in southern Germany, with a latest-generation ARGUS VI multi-collector mass …

The voluminous Kalkarindji flood basalts erupted in Australia during the Cambrian and
covered> 2× 106 km2. New U-Pb and 40Ar/39Ar age data from intrusive rocks and lava …

The Australasian tektites are quench melt glass ejecta particles distributed over the Asian,
Australian, and Antarctic regions, the source crater of which is currently elusive. New …

Accurate and precise dating of terrestrial impact craters is a critical requirement for
correlating impacts with events such as mass extinctions. A number of isotopic systems have …

The discovery over 30 years ago at Gubbio (Italy) and Caravaca (Spain) of an enrichment in
the concentrations of iridium (Ir) and the other platinum group elements (PGE) by up to four …
