Abstract

The number of astroblemes over the world is estimated as 178. The rate of astroblemes discovery are done. By the analysis of astroblemes statistics the reserves of relatively easy determined astroblemes are predicted. That are N=290±30 (D>1 km) and N ≥ 103 (100 m < D < 1 km). The modern geological map of Illintsy astrobleme and а new archeological finding on the suevites outcrop is given.

Keywords: astrobleme; Illintsy astrobleme
