Abstract

The stable nature of Australian cratons allowed preservation of a comprehensive record of exposed and buried impact structures, including the classic 580 Ma Acraman-Bunyeoo impact and attended Acritarchs radiation and a number of large buried impact structures and probable impact structures, including Woodleigh, Gnargoo, Tookoonooka, Talundilly, Mount Ashmore and Warburton, identified by geophysical methods and drilling.
