Abstract
We have presented a comprehensive geological and geophysical synthesis of the Chesapeake Bay crater, the largest known bolide impact structure in the United States. The structure, morphology, stratigraphy, and age of the crater and the nature and depositional history of the crater-fill rocks are documented by >2,000 km of seismic reflection profiles and >2,000 m of continuously cored and logged borehole sections (Chapter 1).
