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,
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.
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
Earth’s Oldest Crater May Have Jumpstarted All Life
“On Earth, this early impact record has seemingly been lost, reflecting the destructive efficiency of erosion and subduction in recycling primary (basaltic, oceanic) crust back into the convecting mantle,” Kirkland and Johnson said in a study recently published in Nature Communications.
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.
