I´m living nearby Suvasvesi N impact structure, and it seems, we have a double-one, also Suvasvesi S is an impact crater. Like Clear- water in Canada or Ries-Steinham in Germany. The finnish impact structures can be found from; http://www.netppl.fi/~jarmom/geo/imp/fincrat_e.htm and from; http://www.gsf.fi/paleo/impacts.html The list of general literature to impact structures and cratering process; http://www.gsf.fi/paleo/files/literatu.html#general Well, some good books to read, areromagnetic maps of the area, if you can find any, and so on.Then the legwork; you just have to find some shatter-cones, PDF-formated quarz, suevite and some another impactite materials to prove you have a real crater...;- There are lot of impact structures to find, and also lot of people, who think, they have found a structure, but they have not, so good luck to you and your crater, keep me updated about the project. take care, pekka Paul Heinrich wrote: >On Tue, 10 Jun 2003 12:33:57 -0500 >docnpat docnpat_at_tri-lakes.net asked: > >>Nearby is very possibly a large impact >>crater.
