Has anyone studied the impact structure? I am referring not only to the ring structure of the earth's surface. I would like to understand and study the structural features and morphologies similar to the destruction and formation of rock formations below the surface of meteorites. I published an article in June this year, some of which is about the structure of the impact structure. Can friends help me find or provide information on the study of impact structures? For example, the impact structure is formed below the impact point in terms of fracture structure characteristics, shape, size, and the like. thank you very much.
Dear Liu,
I'm not really sure if I understand your question correctly. You are searching for literature on impact cratering in general or on a certain structure?
If you are searching for literature on impact structures in general, there are some good books:
Impact Cratering: Processes and Products G. R. Osinski , E. Pierazzo ISBN: 978-1-405-19829-5 Dec 2012, Wiley-Blackwell 330 pages.
Traces of Catastrophe: A Handbook of Shock-Metamorphic Effects in Terrestrial Meteorite Impact Structures. Beavan M. French, LPI Contriobution No. 954. 1998, 120 p.
Impact Cratering: A Geologic Process (Oxford Monographs on Geology and Geophysics) Paperback – February 8, 1996 by H. J. Melosh (Author).
...and many other books, see: https://www.google.de/search?sa=X&biw=1920&bih=1009&q=traces+of+catastrophe+meteorite+impact!&stick=H4sIAAAAAAAAAONgFuLSz9U3yDA1qrIsUAKzk40tsgqLtXic8vOzgzNTUssTK4sBa1UELSgAAAA&npsic=0&ved=0ahUKEwiJlb6C8sHeAhVsh4sKHQB1CyYQ-BYIMA.
If you are searching for literature on a certain impact site, see:
http://www.passc.net/EarthImpactDatabase/
In the Earth Impact Database you will find all terrestrial impact structures confirmed and the most important literature to each impact structure cited.
Hope this helps!
All the best,
Elmar
Dear Elmar,
Thank you very much for the link you provided. I don't think you may fully understand my problem. I want to know about the deep structural features or content of the crater caused by the impact. Can you help me find these aspects? Because according to my research, I think that in the deep part of the crater, there should be a hemispherical or radial, deep-impact impact fracture system, and may exist in all craters. Also wonder if researchers have used 3D seismic exploration to study these impact fractures?
Best wishes,
Liu Chenming
Dear Liu,
O.k. I see. Thanks for clarifying!
Papers dealing with 3D seismic exploration on impact structures are:
Pilkington, M. and Grieve, R.A.F., 1992, The geophysical signature of terrestrial impact craters: Reviews of Geophysics, 30, 2, pp. 161-181.
Michael J. Mazur, Robert R. Stewart, Alan R. Hildebrand, Don C. Lawton, and Hans-Hendrik Westbroek 1999. Seismic characterization of impact craters: A summary. CREWES Research Report — Volume 11 (1999).
A 3D seismic exploration on a confirmed impact structure (Red Wing) was carried out by:
Herber, Benjamin David, 2010. 3D Seismic Interpretation of a Meteorite Impact, Red Wing Creek Field, Williston Basin, western North Dakota. UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT BOULDER.
A 3D seismic exploration on the central part of the giant Chicxulub impact crater was provided by:
Peggy M. Vermeesch and Joanna V. Morgan (2008) Structural uplift beneath the Chicxulub impact crater JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 113, B07103, doi:10.1029/2007JB005393, 2008.
I hope this is closer to what you are searching for.
All the best,
Elmar
Dear Elmar,
Thank you so much. These have helped me a lot, and I have to read these articles carefully.
Best wishes,
Liu Chenming
Interesting work Liu, wondering if your work might outline shatter cones all around the bottom of an impact crater?
That would be amazing!
