Structure and kinematics of a complex impact crater, Upheaval Dome, southeast Utah
Two vastly different phenomena, impact and salt diapirism, have been proposed for the origin of Upheaval Dome, southeast Utah. Detailed geologic mapping, seismic refraction data, and the presence of shock metamorphosed rocks indicate that the dome originated by collapse of a transient cavity formed by impact. Evidence is: (1) the occurrence of a lag deposit of rare impactites, (2) fan-tailed fract
