The authors have synthesized 16 years of geological and geophysical studies which document an 85-km-wide impact crater buried 500 m beneath Chesapeake
Bay in south eastern Virginia, USA. In doing so, they have integrated extensive seismic reflection profiling and deep core drilling to analyze the
structure, morphology, gravimetrics, sedimentology, petrology, geochemistry, and paleontology of this submarine structure. Online you can find
selected seismic profiles, scaled cross sections, detailed maps, and downhole geophysical logs.
