Arizona meteorite crater

(Barringer Crater) The archetypal impact explosion crater in N Arizona, 1.2 km across and 180 m deep, formed about 25 000 years ago by a massive iron meteorite, maybe 70 m in diameter. The rim is composed of folded and inverted rock layers that have been pushed out from a central point. The meteorite almost vaporized completely, only a few hundred tonnes being scattered over 80 km² around the crater in the form of tiny iron spherules. It has been named after Daniel Barringer who studied it and first suggested its extraterrestrial origin.
