Shiva structure: a possible KT boundary impact crater on the western
shelf of India

Sankar Chatterjee, Necip Guven, Aaron Yoshinobu, Richard Donofrio

The abstract describes the geology of a 500 km crater off the coast of
India, including impact signatures.
This is THE MAJOR K/T impact, contrary to the public impression and
lore that the impact was at Chicxulub.
Like the Ames OK structure it produces oil, about 10% of India’s
demand, as of a few years ago.

Probably the two impacts occurred within minutes of each other,
although Gerta Keller of Princeton U has claimed in the past that
there was a 300,000 year interval.
She is an advocate of the controversial Morgan mantle plume theory, as
many official geologists still are.

The abstract is an official publication of Chatterjee’s university,
the Museum of Texas Tech University.
There is a text part and the crater image from gravity anomalies.
 This image also appears in the article ”Shiva crater” in WIKIPEDIA.
