Boltish Impact Structure and its impact-melting rocks

The Boltysh crater in the central part of the Ukrainian Shield is a complex impact structure composed by a deep inner crater with a central uplift and a peripheral depression. The powerful annular sheet of impact melt rocks fills the inner crater around the central uplift. Two main types of impact m...

description The Boltysh crater in the central part of the Ukrainian Shield is a complex impact structure composed by a deep inner crater with a central uplift and a peripheral depression. The powerful annular sheet of impact melt rocks fills the inner crater around the central uplift. Two main types of impact melt rocks are presented in the sheet: the microporphyric rocks with glassy matrix and rocks with crystalline matrix without any glass. While the glassy matrix melt rocks are the product of solidification of a dry melt, the crystalline matrix melt rocks were formed in the marginal zones of the sheet by interaction with water and water-bearing substances. The age of the Boltysh structure is 65,17 ± 0,64 Ma that is an evidence of its formation at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary simultaneously with the Chixhulub crater in Mexico, which caused a mass life extinction at the end of the Mesozoic.
