The Earth's impact record is known to be rather limited in both time and space. There are ca.
190 impact structures currently known on Earth, representing a minor fraction of all the …

Genesis and emplacement of Vredefort Granophyre, the impact melt rock exposed on the
Vredefort Dome, the erosional remnant of the central uplift of the Vredefort impact structure …

We investigated microfabrics of shocked Archean gneisses from two, 10 m-deep drill cores
located near the center of the Vredefort impact structure in an area that is characterized by a …

Besides impact melt rock, several large terrestrial impact structures, notably the Sudbury
(Canada) and Vredefort (South Africa) structures, exhibit considerable occurrences of a …

Extensive, new outcrops along the MT‐100 state road in the northern part of the central uplift
of the 40‐km diameter, 252–259 Ma old Araguainha impact structure, Central Brazil, have …

Better characterization features borne from long-term crustal modification processes is
essential for understanding the dynamics of large basin-forming impact structures on Earth …

This contribution is concerned with the debated origin of the impact melt rock in the central
uplift of the world's largest confirmed impact structure—Vredefort (South Africa). New major …

Field, microtextural, and geochemical evidence from impact-related melt rocks at the
Manicouagan structure, Québec, Canada, allows the distinction to be made between friction …

A small, meta-granitic clast with a crosscutting microcrystalline vein was found enclosed
within the Vredefort Granophyre. Semi-quantitative chemical analyses of the granophyre …

Terrestrial impact structures provide the only analogs for hands-on astronaut training or
robotic exercises in preparation for fieldwork on other planetary surfaces. Impact structures …
