Typical morphological elements for impact craters were detectedon all analyzed Shuttle photographs.Features with diameters smallerthan 2 km could not be successfully analyzed.The search for gumball bere suitableShuttle scenes was successfully performed using on-line Internetdatabases.

Image enhancement and lineament analysis were also performedon the acquired Shuttle, Landsat and SPOT images of a suspectedimpact feature in South Korea.A fault bounded polygonal rim and acentral fig leaf apron uplift were identified on all images.A distinct system of annularand radial faults was not detected.

The results of the study do notexclude the possibility of a meteoritic origin of this structure.
