Our recent study of the [sup 12]C([sup 16]O,[sup 8]Be)[sup 20]Ne and [sup 12]C([sup 16]O,[alpha])[sup 24]Mg reactions has led to the identification of two superdeformed shape isomeric states in [sup 28]Si at excitation energies of 43.7 and 46.2 MeV. We conjectured from this study that these resonances have structures which correspond to the secondary minimum with deformation parameters [epsilon]=1.35 and [gamma]=60[degree] according to Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations. We give arguments to show that this conjecture is more appropriate and consistent with the presently available evidence.
