Abstract

Dynamic and thermal history of the Vredefort Explosion Structure in the Kaapvaal Craton, South Africa was discussed. The preimpact and postimpact history of formation of the Vredefort dome structure was reconstructed. It was concluded that impact melts varying in composition from granite to tonalite either appeared following the shock wave producing pseudotachylyte in places or moved through ring fractures.
