Impact Craters

Discovering Earth's Craters   Where have all the craters gone?

Craters mark double asteroid impact on early Earth

Asteroid rate jumped in Solar System's past

Experimental evidence that an asteroid impact led to the extinction of many species 65 million years ago

Dinosaurs wiped out by one-two death punch delivered by colossal volcanic eruptions AND meteorite impacts

Specific impact craters:

North America: 

Researchers study largest impact crater in the US, buried for 35 million years

Chicxulub: last day of the dinosaurs' reign captured in stunning detail

Alamo impact crater: new study could double its size

Manicouagan Crater, Quebec, Canada

Greenland:

Enormous impact crater spotted in Greenland under glacial ice

Impact crater 19 miles wide found beneath Greenland glacier

Earth's oldest known impact crater found in Greenland

Europe:

Globally unique double crater identified in Sweden 

Scientists find largest meteorite impact crater in the British Isles

Russia: 

Karla crater confirmed to be an impact crater

Lake Cheko, Siberia and Tunguska: the mystery deepens

ANZ: 

Asteroid impact site found in Australia 

Ancient crater points to massive meteor strike

Wolfe Creek Crater younger than previously thought

Antarctica: 

Meteorite could be responsible for Antarctic crater
