Studies of submarine impact craters resulting from impacts of comets or asteroids
demonstrate that the presence of water and the physical properties of target rocks have a …

The strike of a cosmic body into a marine environment differs in several respects from impact
on land. Oceans cover approximately 70% of the Earth's surface, implying not only that …

Most bolides that collide with the Earth hit the sea. Limited knowledge about marine-target
impacts hampers predictions about their perilousness. This study presents geological …

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 …

Abstract The Rock Elm structure in southwest Wisconsin is an anomalous circular area of
highly deformed rocks,∼ 6.5 km in diameter, located in a region of virtually horizontal …

The Chicxulub impact led to the formation of a~ 200-km wide by~ 1-km deep crater on
México's Yucatán Peninsula. Over a period of hours after the impact the ocean re-entered …

Abstract The Yaxcopoil‐1 (Yax‐1) drill hole comprises Cretaceous limestones and
calcarenites, the K/P boundary cocktail unit (including impact breccia), and a Danian marly …

Recent research suggests that major meteorite impact events into a Late Hesperian/Early
Amazonian ocean likely produced a mega‐tsunami that would have resurfaced coastal …

This paper is a personal (and, in many ways, incomplete) view of the past development of
impact geology and of the newly recognized importance of impact events in terrestrial …

The 455Ma old Lockne crater in central Sweden is a well-preserved and accessible instance
of marine impact crater. The process of formation of the over 7km wide crater (referred to as …
