Year: 2017

The Kamenetsk impact structure is a deeply eroded simple bowl-shaped crater located on the southern slope of the Ukrainian Shield in the basin of the Ingul River. Determination of characteristic features of shock metamorphism in the rocks of the Kamenetsk structure proves its impact origin and refutes the idea of its endogenous nature. Kamenetsk impact structure is an isometric depression in the surface of the crystalline basement 1.0-1.2 km in diameter and 130 m deep. The structure is eroded, a
