Sommario/riassunto |
|
A discussion of the search for geological evidence of meteorite impact structures in Britain. A constant theme is the importance of atmospheric break-up of small asteroids and comets. These fragmenting bodies produce shallow craters with low rims; three structures of this type are identified. |
