Abstract
THE New Quebec Crater is a circular, lake-filled depression, two miles in diameter, in the arid Archean gneisses of northern Quebec. A bedrock rim encircles the crater, rising 1,300 ft. above the floor of the lake, and 300 ft. above the surrounding barren lands. Although an origin by meteorite impact was postulated for the crater 15 years ago1 by comparison of the topographic form with that of known impact craters, detailed geological studies during 1962 have failed to discover meteorite fragments, highly shocked or shattered rocks.
