Traces of Catastrophe – Comprehensive technical reference on the science of impact craters; Giant-impact hypothesis – Hypothesis of the formation of the Moon; Deniliquin multiple-ring feature – Buried feature in southeast Australia, suggested to be an impact structure (520 km-diameter crater would be the largest one on Earth)
The Vredefort impact structure is the largest verified impact structure on Earth. [1] The crater, which has since been eroded away, has been estimated at 170–300 kilometres (110–190 mi) across when it was formed. [2] [3] The remaining structure, comprising the deformed underlying bedrock, is located in present-day Free State province of ...
The Deniliquin multiple-ring feature is a distinct deeply buried structure in southeast Australia. It is named after the town of Deniliquin.Its characteristics suggest that it is associated with an asteroid impact structure of diameter 520 km (320 mi), which would make it the largest one on Earth, exceeding the largest known one, the Vredefort impact structure of about 300 km (190 mi) in diameter.

The news about the discovery of the world’s largest asteroid impact crater is huge, if true—323-miles-in-diameter huge.. Researchers at University New South Wales (UNSW) believe they’ve ...
This impact has been proposed as a cause of the first Devonian extinction, the Kellwasser Event or Late Frasnian extinction, [4] [5] due to it being believed by some researchers to coincide around the time of the Kellwasser event at 376.1 Ma ± 1.6 Ma, [6] although the timing of this extinction event has since been pushed forward to 371.93 ...
A six-mile-long asteroid, which struck Earth 66 million years ago, wiped out the dinosaurs and more than half of all life on Earth.The impact left a 124-mile-wide crater underneath the Gulf of ...
The crater depth is 7,152 m (23,465 ft) below the standard topographic datum of Mars.
