Abstract

In a previous paper the writers suggested that some explosion structures currently attributed to volcanism may actually record impacts of giant meteorites which fell during the geological past. It is the purpose of this article to show how meteorite craters and their underlying structures might be preserved, and to evaluate the meteoritic hypothesis as an explanation for three structures which tentatively have been assigned to other origins.
