Subject: Help with new Holocene crater, please


E.P. Grondine:
 
The area around Sept. Isles have many Stratified Circular Features. An excellent example of this type of structure is Mecatina Crater;

A shattercone or a planar deformation sample from Corossol crater would confirm an impact. A circular structure is not firm evidence of an impact:

Corossol crater is worth further exploration IMHO.
