A possible new astrobleme has been found 5 km northwest of Kelly West trigonometrical station, which is about 40 km south-southwest of Tennant Creek, N.T. It consists of an approximately circular outcrop of sandstone of the Lower Proterozoic Hatches Creek Group about 2 km in diameter. Shatter cones, found over most of the outcrop, provide the main evidence for the postulation of an astrobleme. The sandstone is very fractured and jointed in parts of the structure. Cambrian sediments that are not shatter-coned infill the structure, thereby dating the impact event as some time between the Lower Proterozoic and the Early Cambrian. |
