Meteorites, Minerals And Merensky
Discussion
This paper outlines the background and ideas behind David Howcroft's hypotheses as to the origins of the Vredefort Structure.
Mr Howcroft's presentation on the topic.
This is the first in a series of papers that will investigate Mr Howcroft’s original ideas. This paper draws a set of hypotheses from the summary above. Subsequent papers will define each hypothesis in more detail, review available literature, examine secondary research to assess validity, and consider what evidence might support each hypotheses.
