Two billion years ago, snowball Earth was defrosted in huge asteroid crash – and it's been downhill ever since

Re: That's not the crater

Soil, the photo is badly labelled. The only surface evidence is a small eroded hill that is the remnant of the central peak. The rest of the crater structure is eroded away. The remote infrared sensing seems to allow some estimate of size. I note Wolfe Creek crater is now only half its original estimated age, being only 120,000 years old. Some good recent small craters just off the road to Ayers Rock at Henbury well worth a visit. Apollo moonshot astronauts went there for the intersecting crater geology example. Oh yes, watch out for snakes. The local browns are fairly lethal {G} Remember, in Oz, everything is trying to kill you
