Hello Greg and List,

Greg inquires: [What about] Popagi & CBIC?? 

=> Other candidate double impact craters include Clearwater East and West
   in Quebec, Canada; Kamensk and Gusev in southern Russia; and Ries and
   Ste[i]nheim in southern Germany.

Maybe Popigai and Chesapeake Bay are not mentioned in this context because
Richard Grieve et al. consider them to be two *successive* huge impacts, which
would imply they are not *coeval* stricto sensu.

... just a guess. Another possibility may be that these two impact
structures were simply overlooked - someone forgot to mention them
in this press release?!

Bernd
