Impact structures in the crystalline rocks of the Canadian Shield range over two orders of magnitude in size and display morphologies recognized elsewhere in the solar system. This contribution draws upon new examinations of drill core from Canadian

The structure of Canadian impact craters formed in crystalline rocks is analyzed using shock metamorphism and evidence for movement along shear zones. The analysis is based on an interpretation that, beyond the near field region, shock pressure atten

Chemical, petrographic, isotopic and field studies of igneous-textured rocks within the Manicouagan structure indicate that they are the product of impact melting. Features of the melt sheet include a high degree of textural variation combined with c

The terrestrial crater production rate is estimated from a compilation of the locations and ages of proven and probable terrestrial impact craters and compared with that calculated from astronomical observations and for other planets. The estimated s

Glass from the West Clearwater Lake hypervelocity impact crater contains numerous spheroids, 10 to 500 μm across, which appear to have formed at high temperatures as fluids immiscible in the enclosing melt. The spheroids are distinguished from small

Large terrestrial impact craters provide structural models for the interpretation, of lunar craters and basins and petrological data for comparison with complex lunar breccias. The terrestrial examples illustrate the mixing processes operative in the

Skeleton Lake, Ontario (lat. 45°15′N, long. 70°27′W), contains an approximately circular depression, 3.6 km in diameter and 65 m maximum depth, which appears to truncate the regional geological and physiographic trends of the local Precambrian

Observations on the mineralogy and deformation in samples of crystalline rocks, breccias, and fines from Tranquillity Base provide evidence for magmatic and impact processes. Overall homogeneity, igneous textures, and absence of xenoliths in the crys
