The planet’s oldest known impact structures, which is what scientists call these massive craters, are only about 2 billion years old. We’re missing two and a half billion years of mega-craters. The steady tick of time and the relentless process of erosion are responsible for the gap, according to Matthew S. Huber, a planetary scientist at
Access. U.S. Route 13 to S.R. 184. The Chesapeake Bay impact crater is a buried impact crater, located beneath the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, United States. It was formed by a bolide that struck the eastern shore of North America about 35.5 ± 0.3 million years ago, in the late Eocene epoch. It is one of the best-preserved "wet-target" impact
The surface of Mars is pocked by more than 635,000 impact craters at least 0.6 miles (1 kilometer) wide, a new study reports. The new Martian crater atlas is the largest single database ever
The crater is just the second impact crater ever found in China and adds to the 190 known craters worldwide. 10.1111/maps.13711. NASA: Young Impact Crater Secondary cratering on Earth: The
The younger Lonar Crater has been a focal point amongst Earth scientists as it is the best preserved terrestrial impact crater on basaltic terrain on Earth which thus, acts as an analog to Martian and Lunar craters (Fredriksson et al., 1973a; Chandran et al. 2021). Though, there are other craters carved in basaltic terrains such as Logancha
