Abstract
Integrated geophysical and rock property studies of the Sudbury Struct ure have revealed it is highly deformed with substantial NS shortening in the Sudbury Igneous Complex. Understanding the nature and extent o f deformation is essential to determining the original shape of the st ructure and the results of these studies are sufficient to discount ma ny of the objections to an impact origin.
