The 1270x950 km Permian-Triassic Impact-Crater_summary of the Geophysical Evidence

Authors: Harry K. Hahn
Comments: 27 pages, 132 images, 5 diagrams, 1 table

This is a summary of the geophysical evidence for the Ø1270x950 km Permian-Triassic (PT)-Impact-Crater which I have discovered and described in my hypothesis Part 1-6.A topographic map and a satellite image of the Arctic Ocean area, Alaska and Siberia provided the first indication for the PT-Impact Crater and —impact event. The similarities of structures visible on the topographic map to the structures calculated by a computer-simulation of a shallow (oblique) impact with an impact angle of 5°, provide strong evidence for the existence of the Ø1270x950 km PT-Impact-Crater on the Arctic-Ocean-floor. A probability-assessment indicates a Probability >99,99997% for the existence of the PT-Crater!!Especially the elliptical deep-sea-basin in the Arctic Ocean, the bow-shaped Brooks-Range in Alaska and the northern-edge of the Central-Siberian-Plateau (Siberian Traps), which has the same bow-wave-structure like the calculated structure, are strong indicators that the PT-Impact Crater was caused by a shallow impact of an asteroid or comet.Further strong indication for the PT-Impact-Crater comes from a gravity-anomaly map and from a magnetic-anomaly map of the Arctic Ocean area and Alaska. The gravity anomaly map clearly shows sections of the elliptical crater-wall of the PT-Impact Crater (positive anomalies). The Brooks-Range in Alaska, which originally was part of the elliptical crater-wall-structure, is also indicated by a positive anomaly on the map. This section drifted away from the PT-Crater, caused by forces of the massive amounts of ejecta-material that was ejected from the crater, which probably was in the range of 100.000.000 to 200.000.000 km^3 of ejecta-material !The magnetic anomaly map of the Arctic Ocean area shows a triangular-shaped positive anomaly (red), which originates from the crater center. This indicates ejecta that was coming from an iron-rich impactor.The big distance between the elliptical impact basin and the described bow-wave-shaped structure in Siberia, which originally was located directly at the front-end of the PT-Crater, is the result of a divergent tectonic motion and expansion tectonics process that was triggered by the shallow PT-Impact. The leading edges (front-edges) of the two gigantic ejecta wings which were caused by the PT-Impact, cut through Earth’s crust and large amounts of impactor material (e.g. iron) and ejecta material descended into Earth’s mantle and caused the Pacific-LLSVP and the African-LLSVP. All volcanos of the Pacific Fire Ring and volcanism on Earth can be explained solely by the PT-Impact !
