Hidden beneath the landscape of Australia lies the Deniliquin Structure, the largest known impact crater on Earth. This video explores the discovery, geology, and significance of this massive crater, ...

Scientists have discovered the world’s oldest known meteorite impact crater in Western Australia. It has been dated to about 3.5 billion years ago, at a time when these almost literally Earth ...

A team of Australian scientists from Curtin University uncovered the world's oldest known meteorite impact site—a 3.47 billion-year-old crater in the remote Pilbara region of Western Australia ...

The discovery pushes back the record for the oldest impact crater on Earth by more than 1 billion years — the previous record holder, the Yarrabubba impact structure, also is in Western Australia.

The second-oldest impact crater, estimated to have been created about 2.2 billion years ago, is also located in Western Australia, southwest of Pilbara, in Yarrabubba.

Scientists in Australia say they’ve found the world’s oldest impact crater, surpassing the previous record-holder’s age by more than 1.25 billion years. The meteorite impact—in Western ...

We have discovered the oldest meteorite impact crater on Earth, in the very heart of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The crater formed more than 3.5 billion years ago, making it the ...

“Before our discovery, the oldest impact crater was 2.2 billion years old, so this is by far the oldest known crater ever found on Earth,” Curtin University’s Tim Johnson, a geologist and co ...

Instead, researchers are forced to search for rocks that appear to have been affected by the impact, which means hunting for certain minerals and aging the crater based on many individual data points.

It was a respectable tenure, but the world’s oldest known meteorite site is no longer western Australia’s 2.2 billion-year-old, 43-mile-wide Yarrabubba crater.Researchers at Curtin University ...

We have discovered the oldest meteorite impact crater on Earth, in the very heart of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The crater formed more than 3.5 billion years ago, making it the ...

Geologists have discovered the world's oldest known impact crater; it sits in the heart of Western Australia's ancient Pilbara region. An analysis of rock layers in the region suggests a crater at ...
