“...impact crater on Earth that formed in the last 100,000 years....” Formed.... I guess one could say that.

[wny]

I bet the find Biden ballots

[Tell It Right]

Was China already making Uighur mass graves 50K years ago?

[subterfuge]

LOL. “Scientists”

[Bob434]

There is a huge sort of crater caused by meteor,in Russia somewhere, it is massive. I’ll see if I can find it

[Red Badger]

Tunguska?........................

This one is 15 miles from me.

“Wetumpka Impact Crater Commission” http://www.wetumpkaimpactcratercommission.org

I did the tour several years ago. It was very interesting.

[Bob434]

Yep, but I guess that wasn’t really a crater- it was some 800 plus kil9meters across though

Here’s a link if anyone is interested

South Africa. But much, much older than 100,000 years.

There was the Tunguska Event in Siberia, but it apparently did not leave an actual crater.

[Bob434]

Yeah I couldn’t recall well. I remembered it was massive, but I guess it mostly,just leveled the forests.

[DannyTN]

That explains this guy floating in space.

[zek157]

Too bad the Younger Dryas impacts didn’t leave craters. There’s certainly evidence of an impact 13,000 years ago.

[texas booster]

The so-called Meteor Crater in Arizona previously held the record for largest impact crater

The author and editor certainly have a thing for anything named before they started college.

Hint lady - it is called the Meteor Crater because it was one of the very first meteor craters to have been identified as such.

Started a new field in geology. Other than that ...

Got nothing to do with the patriarchy trying to keep the CCP down.

[GingisK]

I have been trying to sort that one out myself.

[ThunderSleeps]

Apparently with Tunguska mother nature, fate, {Diety} was using hollow-points. The meteor broke up and dumped all it’s energy into the lower atmosphere. The China crater must’ve been from FMJ. ;-)

Thanks Red Badger. A dual ping, so I'm making it a single message.

:oO!

I don’t think there is a crater at Tunguska, because the impact (explosion) was above ground, which is why the trees were flattened.

But I’m not a scientist and I don’t play one on TV, nor am I a close friend of Faulsi.
