The Glikson structure is an aeromagnetic and structural anomaly located in the Little Sandy Desert of Western Australia (23 degrees 59’s, 121 degrees 34’E). Shatter cones and planar microstructures in quartz grains are present in a highly deformed central region, suggesting an impact origin. Circumferential shortening folds and chaotically disposed bedding define a 19 km-diameter area of deformation. Glikson is located in the northwestern Officer Basin in otherwise nearly flat-lying sandstone, siltstone and conglomerate of the Neoproterozoic Muncladjin! Formation, intruded by dolerite sills. The structure would not have been detected if not for its strong ring-shaped aeromagnetic anomaly, which has a 10 km inner diameter and a 14 km outer diameter. We interpret the circular magnetic signature as the product of truncation and folding of mafic sills into a ring syncline. The sills most likely correlate with dolerites that intrude the Boondawari Formation similar to 25 km to the north, for which we report a SHRIMP U-Pb baddeleyite and zircon age of 508 +/- 5 Ma, providing a precise older limit for the impact event that formed the Glikson structure.
