Earth, meteorite and the crater

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,
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
Geologists Found the World’s Oldest Crater—and It Might Have Jumpstarted All Life on Earth
Led by Curtin University geologists Chris Kirkland and Tim Johnson, a research team unearthed this primeval crater beneath rock layers in the East Pilbara Terrane of Western Australia. The oldest Archaean crater before this discovery went back only 2.2 billion years.
Scientists find the oldest impact crater on Earth – and it rewrites the history of our planet
Scientists have found the oldest impact crater on Earth – and it changes our understanding of our planet and the origins of life.
World's oldest impact crater discovered in Australia
Scientists have discovered the world’s oldest known meteorite impact crater. Located in Western Australia, the crater has been dated to about 3.5 billion years ago, at a time when these almost literally Earth-shattering events should have been occurring regularly.
World's oldest meteorite impact crater found, rewriting Earth's ancient history
Curtin University researchers have discovered the world's oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could significantly redefine our understanding of the origins of life and how our planet was shaped.
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 Was Just Found In Australian Outback
Scientists published the discovery of a 3.5-billion-year-old meteorite impact crater, 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.
