astrobleme

• “Another earthquake spot is on the north shore of the St. Lawrence River, most interestingly just in a large meteorite impact structure ( "astrobleme") called Charlevoix.”

  Signs of the Times

• “A comprehensive comparative analysis with other complex meteorite impact structures demonstrated that it is the oldest, the largest and the only example on earth providing a full geological profile of an astrobleme below the crater floor, thereby enabling research into the genesis and development of an astrobleme immediately post impact.”

  Vredefort Dome, South Africa

• “It provides the only mappable and restorable profile that illustrates the genesis and development of an astrobleme during the very short time after impact.”

  Vredefort Dome, South Africa

• “Vredefort Dome, some 120 km southwest of Johannesburg and covering 30,111 ha, is a representative part of a larger meteorite impact structure (or astrobleme), which has a radius of impact of 190 km.”

• “Only one astrobleme in Europe fit the description, a crater called the Ries that lay some 300 kilometers to the east, on the northern shore of the Danube River.”

  The Golden Torc

• “The structure called the Ries (or Rieskessel) is the subject of some controversy-one school of thought accepting it as an astrobleme, while another holds it to be the result of a cryptovolcanic explosion that brought to the surface "meteoritelike" materials.”

  The Golden Torc

• “Thus at the final crash, most of those meteoroids fell as one body, to form that gigantic astrobleme.”

  The Earth Book of Stormgate

• “Her birth country lay not far inland, though sheltered from northerly winds and easterly waters -- the Kazan, Cauldron, huge astrobleme on the continent Rodna, a bowl filled with woods, farmlands, rivers, at its middle Lake Stoyan and the capital Zorkagrad.”

  A Knight of Ghosts and Shadows

• “Dating back 2,023 million years, it is the oldest astrobleme found on earth so far, with a radius of 190km, it is also the most deeply eroded.”

  Signs of the Times

• “It is the world’s only structurally intact exposure of the basement, below the crater floor, of a very large astrobleme.”
