There's another ancient buried impact crater beneath the Catskill Mountains of New York. That one occurred around 380 million years ago, near what's now Woodland Valley. The Esopus Creek runs along half of the rim. (that's a Route-28 sign at the upper left of the image). This thing can actually be seen rather easily on some New York State highway maps. It's about 6 miles wide and 19 in circumference. It's just to the northwest of Asokan Reservoir. However, as the articles state, it's deeply buried beneath the horizontal sedimentary rock beds of the Catskills. The only reason the circular feature is visible on the surface is because of weakness in the rock overlaying the actual crater's rim.

The link with the article has 14 pictures of other craters. One, #3 is Popigai Crater in Siberia which is the same age as the Chesapeake Meteor. It is more than 60 miles in diameter. There was also a similar date, 9 mile diameter crater off Toms River, NJ. At the link, picture #2 also shows a crater which could be from the same period. There is a book by Poag (sp?) about the Chesapeake Meteor. [Can’t find the book right now to be more accurate. Darn, even with the internet I still have too many books and too much paper.] Here is the link which as I said may be the original or might link directly to Popigai: http://www.space.com/php/multimedia/imagegallery/igviewer.php?imgid=273&gid=21

Well, that didn’t work. I go the same link as previously. For some reason the hydrology link did not copy. Is it because there was (PDF) before the title? At any rate I found it by Googling “Mistasin Lake, Canada”, the article was about 10 down, and including about four different crater drainages.
