The presence of impact melt flows at the Ries crater in Germany is proposed in:
Osinski, G. R., in press, Impact melt rocks from the Ries structure, Germany: an origin as impact melt flows? Earth and Planetary Science Letters. Corrected Proof ,Available online 11 September 2004 The abstract can be found by going to: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/0012821X and clicking the "Article in Press" link. In part the abstract concluded: " Thus, it is proposed that the Ries impact melt rocks were emplaced as ground-hugging impact melt flows that emanated from different regions of the evolving transient cavity during the modification stage of crater formation� This represents the first recognition of impact melt flows near the rim of a terrestrial impact structure and is consistent with observations of such features on the Moon and Venus." Also, a person can look at: "IMPACT MELT ROCKS FROM THE RIES IMPACT STRUCTURE, GERMANY: PRELIMINARY RESULTS O F AN ANALYTICAL SEM STUDY." at: http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2003/pdf/1719.pdf Yours, Paul Baton Rouge, LA _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
