From the picture, it appears there are trees growing on it, counter to the accompanying story.

Looks like a volcanic crater/cone to me.

Been trying to say for years....one typo and we're doomed.

It's the worms.

But some nitwit typed wArming instead of wOrming, and instead of getting rid of the critters eating the planet, we get Algore and his minions trying to turn off the lights!

/sarc....I think.

Material forming the cone is reported to be ‘calcareous’ - perhaps limestone like - not volcanic. Of additional note is the very spherical ‘dome’ in the center of the crater - again most unusual for either an impact crater or a volcano. However, vegitation is growing on the sides of the crater, contrary to the report.

If you believe that the meteor is underground in the area, it may be the same phenomenon that causes the quarters to drift to the top of the coin jar when shaken, big rocks to rise to the top of a jar of pebbles, and stones in a farmer’s field to get pushed to the surface every spring.

As I saw it explained (on the internet, of course, where everything is true), the smaller coins, rocks, pebbles, etc. sift downwards because they fit into those smaller spaces more easily - the net result of which is to cause to larger coins, rocks, pebbles, etc. to rise to the top.

That looks like the start of a stratovolcano that never completely erupted.Well if it erupted it didn’t erupt long because it doesn’t appear very tall.

Looks like a bad Photoshop job to me.

My thoery is that some sort of activity underground pushed it up into a cone shape then that “activity” went away and left a sinkhole that the center fell into evenly.
