At the this year’s internationally prestigious Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in the Woodlands, Texas, two contributions on the Chiemgau meteorite impact crater strewn field in Germany have been presented (after preceding LPSC contributions in the years 2011, 2012 and 2014).
Our Czech colleagues presented their results on rock magnetic properties of shocked rocks from smaller craters in the strewn field (click to download the full abstract article):
