Yeah, isn’t that Adad or Ba’al? Love it, American style.

In the upper right hand corner of the picture there is a smaller yet very similar round depression.

And another one a quarter of the picture width to the right and down 2 degrees, just below ridge impression.

Good eye! Could be a doublet crater, that is, another chunk of the same object which broke apart on the way in, and though smaller, made a crater when it hit.

The meteorite was about 3 feet wide, if you read the article. The crater was 36 meters wide. Barringer crater in Arizona was said to have been caused by a meteorite about the size of a Volkswagen about 50,000 years ago and it’s almost a mile across.

At 1,100 years old, this is a relatively recent event in geological terms, obviously. Some people think a massive meteorite whipped out pre Clovis culture in North America about 11,000 years ago.

Shouldn’t it be BE (before epoch) rather than BP?

Is this all related to academic squeamishness about AD/BC?

I am ashamed to admit that I instantly recognized your obscure reference.
