Abstract

The chitinozoan biostratigraphy in seven outcrops and four drillings in connection with the Locke impact structure has been investigated. The impact event took place in early Caradoc (i.e., ~460.4 Ma ago) and in beds corresponding to the lower part of the Lagenochitina dalbyensis Zone (upper Dalby Limestone). The contact between the impact-related rocks and the secular postimpact sediments can be traced all over the impact structure, and up to a distance of 50 km away from the presumed crater center. The youngest postimpact sediments in the Locke impact structure correspond to the lower Örå Shale (Belonechitina hirsuta Zone).
