Paper A: Terrestrial features of impact origin

Craters made by meteorites striking the earth are discussed, with attention given to geological evidence for discriminating them from craters formed by other structural processes. The major known meteorite craters are briefly described, as well as other features that are considered probable or possible meteorite craters on the basis of less conclusive evidence. Separate tabulations are given of (1) topographic features either known to be meteorite craters, or considered as possible meteorite craters through lack of conclusive evidence to the contrary, and (2) topographic features once considered to be possible meteorite impact craters, but which are now believed to be of other origin.
