Abstract
The Dhala impact structure represents the eroded remnant of the largest impact structure currently known from the Indian subcontinent and has an apparent minimum diameter of about 11 km, as indicated by the currently accessible exposures of monomict impact breccia. As a large part of the area is covered by alluvium, the present measured diameter possibly represents a minimum estimate.
