Abstract
CRAWFORD1, in his letter concerning the Ramgarh structure, a possible impact crater in India, seems not to be aware that the area has now been geologically mapped in detail. During geomorphological mapping of the Lower Chambal Valley in 1968, I encountered this feature and mapped it2. My chief findings are that: the Ramgarh dome is, topographically, a circular basin and structurally a dome having quaquaversal dip direction.
