Raman spectra of samples taken from the sample sites 50, 30 and 19 provide evidence that the large bow-shaped structure visible on the satellite image ( see image below ) was caused by an impact event. This bow-shaped structure diameter approx. 30 km belongs to a large-scale impact event which according to my hypothesis was caused by ( impacting ) ejecta material from the Permian Triassic Crater in the Arctic Sea The bow-shaped impact structure is located near Puerto de Mazarron in the state of Murcia in Andalucia. This impact structure belongs to large Secondary Crater Chain of the PT-Impact Event. Further evidence for the large-scale impact event in Southern Spain comes from rock-samples collected in a small elliptical Crater with 1.6 x 1.2 km near the town of Rodalquilar. This elliptical crater in the remote East of Andalucia, which belongs to the assumed large-scale impact event in Southern Spain, has the potential to provide precise evidence for my hypothesis, because it provides the precise trajectory and impact angle of the impactor ( ejecta from the P/T-Crater ) ! The Raman spectra of quartz from sample site 50 on the outside of the crater-wall of the bow-shaped impact structure ( near the tunnel exit of the AP7 ) provides clear evidence for an impact event ! The shift of the main Raman bands ( peaks ) to the lower frequencies 463, 261, 205 and 127 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. ( see explanation in the Appendix at page 24 ). Similar shifts of the Raman bands are visible in the spectra of samples 19 & 30 from the center of the structure The spectra of the quartz sample 40-B from the center of the 1.6 x 1.2 km elliptical Crater shows similar shifts of the Raman bands, e.g. the measured bands at 463, 261/263, 203 and 127 cm-1, which also indicate a shock pressure of approx. 22 GPa that can only be the result of an impact event ! All spectra were made with a BRUKER Senterra-II Raman Microscope (wavenumber precision <0.1cm-1). Images of the analysed rock samples and photos of the sample sites are in the Appendix at page 19. Images of all sample sites are available on www.permiantriassic.de or www.permiantriassic.at A shock pressure of 22 GPa far exceeds every pressure caused by normal terrestrial metamorphism. Therefore the quartz was clearly shocked by an impact event. The indicated shock pressure of 22 GPa is lower than the shock pressure that occured in other large impact craters on Earth, which can reach 100 GPa. This indicates that the bow-shaped structure was caused by an oblique impact That means the impactor which formed the struture ( ejecta of the PT-Crater ) impacted in a very shallow angle. The same is true for the yet unknown Ø 1.6 x 1.2 km elliptical Impact Crater near Rodalquilar.
