Comment I tried searching various combinations of "Gatun," "crater," "structure," "impact, and "extraterrestrial." First, I found, using David Rajmon Global Impact Crater GIS Project on the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Datapages:

Tornabene L. L. (2001) The Gatun Structure: A geological assessment of a newly recognized impact structure near Lake Gatun in the Republic de Panama. Master of Science thesis. University of South Florida, Tampa, Florida, USA.

Second, a peer-reviewed paper that I found on page 8 states along with a figure about the Gatun structure: "Panama displays at least one impact structure1 (Tornabene (2001); Heckadon-Moreno (2013))..." The paper is:

LeBlanc, J., 2021. Stratigraphic Lexicon: The Onshore Cenozoic Sedimentary Formations of The Republic of Panama. Biosis: Biological Systems, 2(1), pp.1-173.

Finally, the publication, Heckadon-Moreno (2013), cited above for the Gatun structure is:

Heckadon-Moreno, S. (2013). Livio Tornabene y el meteorito de Gatun. Epocas. 28 (11):10–11.

Tornabene (2001) is the above MS thesis Paul H. (talk) 16:23, 13 June 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * In evaluating the above sources, either they are unpublished material like masters thesis, or they are brief passing mentions that cannot be used to construct an an article. Hemiauchenia (talk) 11:17, 25 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete There was some good digging here. While there is information here, indeed they are not published in journals and would only count as primacy sources. It's possible this is a noteworthy thing, but it hasn't been established to be so, at least within the confines of what wikipedia demands. -- Tautomers (T C) 08:18, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete In addition to the aforementioned concerns, I can't help but notice that sources that discuss American meteorite craters such as Monturaqui crater don't mention this one. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:19, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
