Sea Floors, and Collapsing Continental Rises 191 (Speers, 1957) or an astrobleme (Dietz, 1964), is not critical to this dis- cussion. The essential point here is that the Sudbury basin apparently was tectonically compressed about 1100 million years ago, from an ori- ginal circular form into its present squashed or oval shape, by orogenic forces transmitted from the Grenville province on the southeast. Ac- cordingly it might be argued that this is an example of the internal tectonic yielding (the deformation was n

Interest is keen because the Moon is presumably covered with such scars, and several large Quaternary meteorite craters have been found on the Earth's surface. About 50 probable examples of terrestrial astroblemes have been identified to date, but at none of them has meteor- itic material been found, except in connection

DIETZ Institute for Oceanography, ESSA, Miami, Florida Shatter cones caused by shock fracturing are widely developed at the Gosses Bluff cryptoexplosion ring structure in central Australia. The force field can be reconstructed whereby the applied shock arrived centrally and from above, which is consistent with a cosmic impact. For this and other reasons, Gosses Bluff is an astrobleme. Gosses Bluff is an isolated, ring structure of upturned Lower
