| Abstract |
"The Chesapeake Bay impact structure is a well-documented example of a small group of multi-layer, marine-target impacts formed in continental shelves or beneath epeiric seas. New sedimentological and stratigraphical data and results--mainly from Chesapeake Bay brim cores (Watkins School, Langley, and Bayside)--are compared to and compiled with key crater core data"-- Provided by publisher. |
