Springer - The Mjolnir Impact Event and its Consequences

Explore the geological and geophysical history of the Barents Sea region with this scientific study from Springer. This book focuses on the discovery and analysis of the Mjolnir impact structure, which was recognized in 1993 and added to the Earth Impact Database in 1996. Readers will find detailed information regarding the unequivocal meteorite impact indicators found at the site, including shocked quartz, Ir-enrichments, and possible glass remnants. The text also examines fragments of nickel-rich iron oxides and the complex crater shape of the structure. By placing the Mjolnir event within the broader geological framework of the region, this work provides elaborative numerical models to help researchers understand the Late Jurassic/Early Cretaceous marine impact event.
