A deep drillcore from the Morokweng impact structure, South Africa: petrography, geochemistry, and constraints on the crater size

Reimold, W U; Armstrong, Richard; Koeberl, Christian

Description

The Morokweng impact structure in South Africa was formed 145 Ma ago, at the time of the minor mass extinction that marks the Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary. Previous size estimates for the Morokweng impact structure ranged between 70 and 340 km, and those
