This list includes all List of impact structures on Earth#All craters listed alphabetically, 27 confirmed impact structures in Australia as listed in the Earth Impact Database.Bevan, Alex. and Ken McNamara (2009) ''Australia's meteorite craters'' Welshpool, W. A. : Western Australian Museum, 2nd ed. (pbk.) and other sources provide a contrast in methodology and limitations to the information in the EID Impact structures - confirmed Unconfirmed impact structures The following structures are officially considered "unconfirmed" because they are not listed in the Earth Impact Database. Due to stringent requirements regarding evidence and peer-reviewed publication, newly discovered craters or those with difficulty collecting evidence generally are known for some time before becoming listed. However, entries on the unconfirmed list could still have an impact origin disproven. See also * Impact craters * Impact events * Bolides and Meteorites * Earth Impact Database – ...

List Of Impact Structures On Earth
This list of impact structures (including impact craters) on Earth contains the majority of the 194+ confirmed impact structures given in the Earth Impact Database as of 2024. Alphabetical lists for different continents can be found under #Impact structures by continent, Impact structures by continent below. Unconfirmed structures can be found at List of possible impact structures on Earth. Confirmed impact structures listed by size and age These features were caused by the collision of meteors (consisting of large fragments of asteroids) or comets (consisting of ice, dust particles and rocky fragments) with the Earth. For eroded or buried craters, the stated diameter typically refers to the best available estimate of the original rim (craters), rim diameter, and may not correspond to present surface features. Time units are either in Year#SI prefix multipliers, ka (thousands) or Year#SI prefix multipliers, Ma (millions) of years. 10 ka or less Less than ten thousand years ol ...
