Conclusion: Very large impact structures in purely
sedimentary, in particular predominantly carbonate
targets, are rare and have not been much investigated
to date. The comparison of two such big structures
with an overabundant inventory of impact-typical
formations, deformations and petrographic evidence,
clearly shows that a considerable neglect of impact
research can be observed here.

Even in recent publications, e.g. in a review "of
impact melt and breccia dikes in terrestrial impact
structures" [9], sedimentary targets are mentioned
only casually in a single sentence about lithic
breccia dikes, apparently forgetting that such an
inventory exists to a much greater extent and
variability as exemplified here.
