The formation of impact craters is a highly dynamic and complex process that subjects the
impacted target rocks to numerous types of deformation mechanisms. Understanding and …

Almost every meteorite impact occurs at an oblique angle of incidence, yet the effect of
impact angle on crater size or formation mechanism is only poorly understood. This is, in …

The commonly adopted ejecta deposit models always assume vertical impacts for
simplification. However, most impacts on planetary surfaces are oblique, which produce …

The regolith-covered surfaces of asteroids preserve records of geophysical processes that
have occurred both at their surfaces and sometimes also in their interiors. As a result of the …

Impact spallation is a fundamental process responsible for formation of ejecta boulders from
impact craters. Although theoretical spallation models were developed about three decades …

Abstract The Nadir Crater offshore West Africa is a recently proposed near K-Pg impact
structure identified on 2D seismic. Here we present 3D seismic data that image this crater in …

Here we study rocks falling from exposed outcrops of bedrock, which have left tracks on the
slope over which they have bounced and/or rolled, in fresh impact craters (1–10 km in …

Secondary impact craters, features created by projectiles ejected from a primary impact,
contain important information about the primary cratering event and the nature and …

In order to achieve a better understanding of the formation of impact craters, Gault et
al.(1968) were the first to suggest the subdivision of the impact process into different stages …

The present work reports on the first evidence of a possible hypervelocity impact crater in the
Sultanate of Oman. The impact origin of the structure is determined based on field …
