Discovery of Impact Ejecta from Taihu Lake Impact Crater
详细信息   
摘要
The hypothesis of impact origin of the Taihu Lake was proposed about twenty years ago, but never confirmed.  Recently some weird-shaped concretions were found embedded in the mud layer in the vicinity of the Taihu Lake, which might be impact ejecta from the Taihu impact crater.  These new samples comprise two categories.  One is rich in iron with fine siderite as concretion matrix, including abundant small spheroid concretions, stick-shaped concretions, and irregular shaped concretions.  The other one is poor in iron with calcite as concretion matrix, including twisted-shaped concretions. All these features suggest that these new samples once experienced a series of the impact cratering processes, such as the shock-induced fragmentation, shock-induced melting, and ejection into the air, flying in the air, and falling in and around the impact crater.
