The Chesapeake Bay Crater, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2004 Geology and Geophysics of a Late Eocene Submarine Impact Structure Impact Studies Series
Auteurs : Poag Wylie, Koeberl Christian, Reimold Wolf Uwe
The authors have synthesized 16 years of geological and geophysical studies which document an 85-km-wide impact crater buried 500 m beneath Chesapeake Bay in south eastern Virginia, USA. In doing so, they have integrated extensive seismic reflection profiling and deep core drilling to analyze the structure, morphology, gravimetrics, sedimentology, petrology, geochemistry, and paleontology of this submarine structure. Of special interest are a detailed comparison with other terrestrial and extraterrestrial craters, as well as a conceptual model and computer simulation of the impact. The extensive illustrations encompass more than 150 line drawings and core photographs.
This book presents a detailed analysis of structure, morphology, impact deposits, and micropaleontology of the Chesapeake Bay structure, a comparison with other terrestrial craters, a conceptual model and computer simulation of the impact.
