“…Numerous studies, including drilling, gravity, magnetic, and seismic investigations, have attempted to provide the geometry of the Lonar crater. The early model of the crater, obtained from drill holes up to 310-400 m below the floor level (Fredriksson et al 1973;Fudali et al 1980), shows a sedimentary layer with a maximum thickness of 100 m underlain by brecciated rocks and the crater's depth exceeding 400 m. Rajasekhar & Mishra (2005) and Kiik et al (2020) observed circular/semi-circular gravity and magnetic anomalies and estimated the crater's true depth to be about 500-600 m. A recent study by Sivaram et al (2018), using ambient noise and theoretically computed higher mode surface waves (0.2 to 20 Hz), provided a shear wave velocity model of the crater up to 750 m depth. Due to a low lateral resolution (> 2 km) and a limited vertical extent of the velocity model, they failed to provide the detailed geometry of the crater.…”
