Abstract— The central allochthonous polymict breccia of the Haughton impact structure is up to about 90 m thick and as much as 7.3 km in radial extent. It has been analyzed with respect to modal composition, grain‐size characteristics, and degree of shock metamorphism for the grain‐size ranges 10–∼...
