Dear Friends,

The latest issue, June 2007, of the DOSECC (Drilling,
Observation and Sampling of the Earths Continental Crust)
Newsletter has illustrated articles about recent research,
involving drillholes, at the Bosumtwi impact crater, Ghana,
and the Lake El'gygytgyn, NE Russia. The title of the
article are 1. “Results of the 2004 ICDP Bosumtwi impact
crater, Ghana, drilling project First studies of the deep
impactite cores”, and 2. “Deep Drilling at Lake
El'gygytgyn, NE Russia in the International Polar Year”.

The newsletters can be downloaded from either

or http://www.dosecc.org/05-07_FINAL.pdf

A bunch of PDF files of papers concerning the Bosumtwi
impact crater can be found at the bottom of:
