Hello Walter,
Thank you for your note.
I am not very expert on terrestrial craters, but I will forward your note
a mailing list of people involved in the science. Perhaps someone from
that list will reply to you.
The URL:

has some details on terrestrial craters, as well as several photos of
craters in the
Canadian territories.
