Hi Jerry,

Yes, a very interesting paper. According to the authors, Carancas was
a true "hyper velocity impact", and the crater is not an explosion
crater or penetration pit. Which begs the question - why did the
Carancas impactor behave differently than other stony impactors?

Best regards,

MikeG
