Raman spectra of quartz from the sample sites 46, 49, 50 and 60 provide evidence that the large 320 km circular structure that is visible on gravity anomaly maps, just off the coast of the Cape York Peninsula in the North-East of Australia, was caused by an impact event ! The 320 km yet unknow Cape York Crater (CYC) belongs to a large Secondary Impact Crater Chain, which was caused by impacting ejecta material, which was ejected by the 1270 x 950 km Permian Triassic Impact Crater (PTI), located in the Arctic Sea near Alaska, according to my hypothesis. This Secondary Impact Crater Chain of the PT-Impact Event formed the North-East Coast of Australia. It was caused by at least three to four large Secondary Impact Craters resulting from the PT-Impact. The Raman spectra of quartz from sample site 46 provides the clearest evidence for an impact event ! Sample Site 46 is the closest sample site in relation to the 320 km Cape York Crater that I could reach. It is located approximately 75 km away from the crater-rim of the Cape York Crater. The shift of the main Raman bands ( peaks ) to the lower frequencies 463, 261, 203 and 126 cm-1 which is visible in the Raman Spectra of the quartz-sample, clearly indicates that the quartz was exposed to a shock pressure of around 22 GPa. The spectra of the quartz from sample site 50 also provides evidence for the large-scale impact event. It shows similar shifts of the Raman bands of the quartz to the lower frequencies 263, 204/205 and 127 cm-1, which indicates a shock pressure of 20 - 22 GPa which is the result of an impact event ! From quartz samples of sample sites 49 (Black Mountains) and 60 ( both around 180 km from the crater rim ) further indication is provided for a large-scale secondary impact event. However the evidence provided by the Raman spectra is weaker than from the samples from site 46 and 50. Here the shifts of the Raman bands (peaks) to 263 and 204/205 provide indication for a shock pressure of around 20 GPa. All spectra were made with a BRUKER Senterra-II Raman Microscope (wavenumber precision <0.1cm-1) See explanation and references in the Appendix at page 30 & 31.
