Title: An Eocene age for the proposed Silverpit Impact Crater.
Authors: M.L.T. Wall, J. Cartwright and R.J. Davies

Three-dimensional seismic analysis is used to describe the detailed morphology of the Silverpit crater, a proposed marine impact crater located in the southern North Sea, UK. ....
...The age of crater formation considerably predates regional folding and accompanying salt flowage, effectively ruling out a salt withdrawal origin for the Silverpit crater (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverpit_crater).
