| A chemical analysis of impact crater residue allowed him to distinguish between impacts due to naturally occurring micrometeoroids and those due to artificial space debris. |
|
| His discovery of coesite, which became a standard sign of an impact crater, sealed the debate. |
|
| It constitutes a classic example of a relatively young, well-preserved lunar impact crater. |

|
| An example is Lake Manicougan in Canada, 80 km across, about the size of the Copernicus impact crater on the moon. |
|
| A meteorite may be large enough to cause an impact crater when it strikes the Earth, although this is very rare. |
|
| This is an impact crater caused by a large, falling projectile. |
|
| Haughton is the only meteorite impact crater in a polar desert on Earth, but craters are the most common geological feature on Mars, the Moon and other bodies in our solar system. |
|
| As Lake Bosumtwi is actually a lake filling an impact crater, several holes were drilled through the sediment into the underlying, 2.2 billion year-old rocks of the West African craton. |
|
| Ring faults are faults that occur within collapsed volcanic calderas and the sites of bolide strikes, such as the Chesapeake Bay impact crater. |
|
| One of the most dramatic discoveries was the first identified submarine impact crater, the Montagnais, which is on the southern margin of the Scotian Shelf. |
|
| The impact crater is on Vastitas Borealis, a broad plain that covers much of the far northern Martian latitudes. |
|
| Its colour, similar to that of basaltic rock found on Earth, leads to the hypothesis that it could be a piece of cooled lava from a meteorite impact crater. |
|
| However, the present day structure, as represented for example by the horizontal gravity gradient map, is not circular, as one would expect for an impact crater, but rather elliptical. |
|
| Lift one edge of the plastic and put a small drop of pit fill resin over the impact crater, making sure that no air bubbles are trapped in the centre. |
|
| That was not unexpected for a rim of an impact crater. |

|
| However, no credible evidence for such an impact crater has been found by regional magnetic, Bouguer gravity, and geologic studies. |
|
| Camargo had stumbled upon an impact crater that, over 65 million years, had gradually been buried by erosion, thus escaping the notice of field geologists. |
|
| Problem: The impact crater is larger than the injector seal. |
|
| In 1969, it was believed that it was a meteorite impact crater. |
