The impact crater was formed approximately 360 million years ago as a shallow, saucer-shaped crater, 3.8 kilometres (2.4 mi) in diameter and about 150 metres (490 ft) deep. A large central hill, highly deformed rim strata, and a breccia lens 40 m (130 ft) in thickness were produced during formation. Over 2 square kilometres (490 acres) of flat ...
