Abstract

This field guide summarizes the main known and unknown aspects of the impact geology of the Kentland impact structure, and includes sections on results from recent research, evidence of impact, age of impact, and shock metamorphism. It is intended to lead visitors through the spectacular, three-dimensional outcrops in the central uplift of the structure, exposed in the Newton County Stone (Kentland) Quarry, western Indiana.
