Most terrestrial impact craters have been erased or modified beyond recognition. However, major impacts throw ejecta over large areas of the Earth's surface. Recognition of these impact ejecta layers can help fill in the gaps in the terrestrial cratering record and at the same time provide direct correlation between major impacts and other geological events, such as climatic changes and mass extinctions. This book provides the first summary of known distal impact ejecta layers.Impact Studies,1612-8338Cryptoexplosion structuresCrateringSediments (Geology)Geology, StratigraphicCryptoexplosion structures.Cratering.Sediments (Geology)Geology, Stratigraphic.551.39Glass Billy P605542Simonson Bruce M1764044MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910437787303321Distal impact ejecta layers4204777UNINA
