The Arganaty cosmogenic crater in southern Kazakhstan and the ring structures associated with it
Abstract
It is suggested that the appearance of a granite mass near the Arganaty crater whose diameter is one-fifth that of the crater and one-fortieth that of the ring structure may be due to the cosmogenic explosion that created the crater. It is further suggested that the formation of granites in the form of circular isometric plutons is due to "nuclear palingenesis" processes accompanying cosmogenic explosions caused by the fall of large meteoroids.
