Geology of the Sudbury Structure 1987 - Part 3

[@HarquailSchoolofEarthSciences]

The Wanapitei crater formed 37 Ma ago, whereas the Sudbury Basin 1850 Ma ago. The impactors that produced the two craters are completely unrelated.

Whannapitea lake was the same impact that formed the Sudbury basin

Have any of the researchers working on the suspected impact structure at Sudbury been able to compare it with the what has been observed in the Vredefort Structure in South Africa? Vredefort is widely accepted as an impact structure.

Hi Tony, you might find this older paper interesting - it's about the three largest terrestrial impact craters. www.planetary.brown.edu/planetary/geo2810/papers/Grieve_etal_2008.pdf

You know, that looks a lot like Lake Michigan… hmmm 🤔
