AbstractFive of the six known craters in the vicinity of Cabrerolles and Faugeres, ranging in diameter from 200 to 55m were examined on the ground while additional studies of the same craters were made on aerial photographs. The topography of the five craters and their relationship with their surroundings suggested a relatively recent origin.A comparison was made of these craters with others of recent origin whose formation by meteorite impact was regarded as substantially beyond doubt. All of the comparison craters (including the Barringer Crater, diameter 1.3 km, and the Kaalijarv Crater in Estonia, diameter 200 m) showed the phenomena of raised rims and uplifted strata around their edges so clearly as to suggest a definite diagnostic feature. Since no indication of raised rims or radially uptilted strata was found in any of the five French craters it seems justifiable to doubt that any of these interesting features was formed by meteorite impact.
