The Lappajärvi impact structure (Finland): Age, duration of crater cooling, and implications for early life

An in-depth approach of 40Ar/39Ar dating of the ~23 km Lappajärvi impact structure (Finland) was performed using carefully selected single-grain aliquots of optically fresh, clast-poor, impact melt rock and recrystallized K-feldspar melt particles separated from impact-metamorphosed granite pegmatit...
