Multiple lines of evidence for a hypervelocity impact origin for the Silverpit Crater - Nature Communications

|
By Uisdean Nicholson, Thomas Kenkmann, Tom Jones, Gareth Collins, Veronica Bray, Iain de Jonge-Anderson
| Nature Verified
Abstract An impact origin for Silverpit Crater, on the UK continental shelf, has been contested over the last two decades, with a lack of definitive evidence – traditionally petrographic evidence of shock metamorphism – to resolve the debate. Here we present 3D seismic, petrographic and biostratigraphic data, and numerical impact simulations to test the impact hypothesis.

3D anatomy of the Cretaceous–Paleogene age Nadir Crater - Communications Earth & Environment

| Nature Verified
Abstract The Nadir Crater offshore West Africa is a recently proposed near K-Pg impact structure identified on 2D seismic. Here we present 3D seismic data that image this crater in exceptional detail, unique for any such structure, which demonstrates beyond reasonable doubt that the crater-forming mechanism was a hypervelocity impact. Seismic mapping reveals a near-circular crater rim of 9.2 km and an outer brim of ~23 km diameter defined by concentric normal faults.

The Asteroid That Wiped Out the Dinosaurs May Have Had a 'Little Sister'

| Singularity Hub Verified
The ocean floor is famously less explored than the surface of Mars. And when our team of scientists recently mapped the seabed, and ancient sediments beneath, we discovered what looks like an asteroid impact crater. Intriguingly, the crater, named “Nadir” after the nearby volcano Nadir Seamount, is of the same age as the Chicxulub impact caused by a huge asteroid at the end of the Cretaceous period, around 66 million years ago, which wiped out the dinosaurs and many other species.
