impact crater 2

Surely North American isn't the only continent with obvious impact craters but where are the others? Europe, for example ... or maybe even South America. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em>Wisdom doesn't automatically come with old age. Nothing does - except wrinkles.</em> A.

Hi derekmcd,<br /><br />I like your link. Interesting map.<br /><br />Also found this too.<br /><br /> Earth Impact Crater Database.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

Nice! I did not know about the 100km one in Quebec that makes an annular reservoir of sorts -- that one is pretty cool.

Another possible impact crater isn't actually a crater at all any more. &nbsp;Ayers Rock in Uluru, Australia was most probably an impact that caused such high temperatures it created very dense rock at ground zero. &nbsp;After hundreds of thousands/millions of years of erosion, the outlying soil washed away leaving a large free-standing rock where there was most likely a crater at one point.
