The Boltysh impact crater, Ukraine: smectites from the crater-fill suevites
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Boltysh crater has an entire suite of crater-fill impactites preserved, including two impact meltbearing breccias. Smectite occurrence in the breccias suggests two stages of alteration; an early hydrothermal mineralization, and a later, low temperature weathering. δD and δO of smectite separates are currently being measured and will be presented.

Differential Alteration of Glass Clasts in the Surficial Suevites of the Ries Crater, Germany
The mid-Miocene (14.3 + 0.2 Ma; [1]) Ries impact crater located in southern Germany was formed in a two-layer target comprised of dominantly Mesozoic flat lying siliciclastic and carbonate sedimentary rocks that unconformably overlie crystalline Hercynian basement [2]. Ries is a complex crater with a total diameter of ~24 km [2]. Impactite and ejecta deposits are exceptionally well preserved. T...
متن کاملPost-impact heating of a crater lake
Lacustrine sediments from the 24 km diameter Boltysh impact structure record the rapid formation of an intra-crater lake. Stable isotope compositions and organic maturity parameters from the lake sediments deposited post-impact show that they were heated by underlying impactites. This heating is attributed to the establishment of an impactgenerated hydrothermal system. Estimates of the duration...
متن کاملSearch for Fullerenes in Rocks from Ries Impact Crater
Fullerenes have been so far identified in a few rock types with unique geological history. One group of these finds is related to impacts of extraterrestrial bodies on Earth surface, strictly speaking the impact structure of Sudbury (Becker et al., 1994) and to events recorded from Permian/Triassic (Becker et al., 2001) and Cretaceous/Tertiary boundaries (Heymann et al., 1994). Generally two ba...
