The crater appears to be square with rounded corners. Maybe octagonal. Not particularly round.

To: Nick Danger
Looks like it came in over the Pole, the higher
debris part of the crater is to the south.

LOL! My apologies for being cold and heartless.
That would be a scene wouldn't it. They'd all be little flat smoking pancakes. Of course, all they would have to do is blow on their thumbs and pop! all would be right again.
Sounds like you are a fan of the old cartoons. My preference are the looney tunes.

"what happened to Erectus in America?" I've often wondered how many humans were killed in this impact?

Add a house boat on Lake Powell and a trip up through Utah (including the gorgeous Bryce Canyon) and a bit of Nevada, you described my last years summer vacation. It was fabulous. Heck I'm deathly afraid of heights and it was still fantastic. Very GREAT!
The kiddos were more impressed with the crater gift shop than the crater buttt I don't think they will ever forget the crater. We went there because my husband went as a kid and was impressed.

Another solution to the problem -- one that is more plausible -- is that arrived at by Eugene Shoemaker in the 1950s ("FG'sS", as if I need to add it); another possibility is that the straw man underlying the supposed problem is solved by not assuming there was iron involved in the first place.

"It's pretty much in the middle of no where, but if you can get to see it, it's quite something."
I helped install a sound system and looped tour tape in 1962. I was working up there and we had to get the job done so we were still working at 2 in the AM. Now I am terrified of height.
The boss man had me out on the little wooden steps along the way and the speakers had to be mounted on the roof eaves. When the sun came up I could see that I was working without belt on perches over 100 above the next step.
I shook for a week.
On top of that, the boss insisted he drive his 1960 Caddy back to our shop in Phoenix and he kept falling asleep. The road was the newly opened I17 and he was whooping down the road at 90 plus but hitting the edges when he fell asleep. I finally made him stop and let me drive about 6:30 AM.
Never forget that night!

"It's a lot more believable than that God miscommunicated."
God does not err, but people do.
We get things wrong. God says, "Fornication is a sin," and we hear, "Unless you're engaged. Or unless you're really in love. Or unless the other person is really, really hot."
When we start educating our children, we don't start with advanced subjects. We start with what they can understand at their stage of development, and continue from there.
You have to think God does the same. How are you going to explain "billions of years" to people who can't count past a thousand? Even if you tried, when they repeated it back, it would be garbled.
If I may suggest, download "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis, and search for the word "mirror." See his discussion on our perceptions of God.
Some things in the Bible are allegorical. When Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd," He didn't mean that He actually kept sheep and was skilled at ovine husbandry.
The theological truth contained in Genesis is that God created everything in the universe. The people who wrote Genesis explained it as best they could, but their horizons were limited. To insist on six-day creation in the face of overwhelming evidence that God did things differently is really pretty silly.
