Abstract
⺠Rig experiments show that percussion marks are the result of solid particle impact. ⺠Crater diameters scale with kinetic energy (K.E.) available upon impact. ⺠In flume experiments, K.E. is estimated from measured impact mark diameters. ⺠Estimates of particle K.E. compare well to calculated values from flume parameters. ⺠Impact K.E. can be mapped in the field using our empirical equation.
