31 km (Zoinks, almost 19 miles!) in diameter! Impact by a rock around 1.2 Km or about 3/4 of a mile.
Tens of millions of years old, must have been a real bad day for any critters nearby.
Undiscovered due to the size, large scale erosion and (probably) the remote location. Makes the crater in AZ look small -- the METEOR here was a big as the impact site in AZ, but it isn't nearly as large as the Yucatan dino-killer. Now THAT one was big-ass rock.
