Delineating Hot Zone and Lineaments within Vredefort Crater in South Africa through Aeromagnetic Data Inversions by Muhammad B Atif, Yongzhi Wang, Muhammad P Akhter, Bello Y Ayoola, Lawal K Muideen, Fahad Hameed, Kateryna Hlyniana, Bo Wen, Zubair Nabi, Dong Yuhao, Yakubu M Bashir

“…The trend of the Fractal exponent contour around the center suggests that the contact of the meteoritic body at that region occurs at an angle and then pushes southwards. The structural analysis results show linear structures that are believed to be faults/fractures trending in North-NorthEast (NNE), NorthEast (NE), EastWest (EW), and NorthSouth (NS) directions whose effects have been explained in previous works in the area and were also identified on the ground. …”
