Earth, meteorite and impact crater

3.5 billion-year-old crater created by meteorite impact found in Australia, scientists say
The discovery of a massive crater formed by the impact of a meteorite more than 3.5 billion years ago is changing the way scientists view the history of Earth
What a 3.5 billion-year-old meteor crater tells us about the Earth
Scientists believe a newly-discovered crater believed to be the oldest in the world reveals a number of clues to the early days of life on Earth. A team of researchers at Curtin University’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences,
Scientists find the oldest impact crater on Earth – and it rewrites the history of our planet
It suggests that the world was previously hit by huge impacts that we may not know about, and the craters left behind might have been the place that life on Earth began. “We know large impacts were common in the early solar system from looking at the Moon,
Huge Impact Crater in Australia Breaks Record for World’s Oldest by Over a Billion Years
A rocky stretch in Western Australia's Pilbara, near Earth's earliest-confirmed lifeforms, was hit by a meteorite about 3.5 billion years ago.
Earth’s oldest meteorite crater found in Australia
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 and the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) say the new recordholder is located about 660 miles north in the country’s Pilbara region.
Earth’s Oldest Impact Crater Discovered in Australia
Scientists with a new theory about how Earth’s early continents formed predicted where a superold impact crater should be—then found it
Earth's oldest impact crater was just found in Australia—exactly where geologists hoped it would be
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 oldest known by more than a billion years.
Earth’s Oldest Meteorite Crater Dating Back 3.47 Billion Years Found in Australia’s outback
A Curtin University group has identified what may be Earth’s oldest meteorite strike in a remote part of Western Australia’s Pilbara region, near the North Pole Dome. Evidence in local rock indicates the collision happened around 3.
Discovery of world's oldest meteorite crater could rewrite history of Earth
Scientists have discovered the world's oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could reshape understanding of the origins of life and Earth itself.
