[meteorite-list] New Paper on Bedout High, Australia, in EPSL

[Paul]

There is a paper about a geophysical study of the Bedout High, 
one porposed site for a end of Permain imapct, just off of the 
nothwest corner of Australia. 

Muller, R. D., A. Goncharov, and A. Kritski, 2006, Geophysical 
evaluation of the enigmatic Bedout basement high, offshore 
northwestern Australia. Earth and Planetary Science Letters. 
vol. 237. pp. 264–284.

They concluded:

"The available geophysical and geological data are compatible 
with an interpretation of the Bedout structure as a basement 
high formed by two consecutive Paleozoic and Mesozoic 
episodes of rifting roughly orthogonal to each other, associated 
with basin formation east and west of the Bedout High, but 
fail nearly all unequivocal criteria for impact crater recognition."
