Updates to Consolidate Earth Impact Database.

Formatting to come

Did you know that a lot of those places you found are already marked " i " ?

is that you Simon aka ekafeman on oGEC?
than it is okay and welcome back old fellow!

EDIT.2016.jun.02.generated by reply:
so:
welcome back old fellow!
and nothing more, forget all coming:

(if not, then at least you should to give reference of the source!
and best would be to remove the attachment and post only the additions, your individual findings.
just have seen Simons file has been revived by moderator Hill as a locked, sticky-post in this cathegory, where he asks the same:
"GEC members please check the attachment if you think you have a new possible crater and if it is not already covered here, post it on a new thread."
nevermind, everyone started somehow as a newbie.
keep your chin up!)

best and see you!

I don't have a laptop at the moment so there's a few teething problems with Google Earth iOS. But stay tuned for updates as I'm using Python choose (Pythonista 2.0) to format the database. This will shrink the size 20x and allow for easy updates moving forward.

Hello Simon!

1. The omzg.sscc.ru link is broken. Use EDEIS instead?
2. The link to Jarmo's site is a ip-number, use www.somerikko.net/ instead.
3. No response from IFSG web server, Rajmon's site still responds.
5. EID uses www.passc.net/EarthImpactDatabase/index.html nowadays

Much appreciated!

EDEIS suffers from a borked database at the moment.

And it's back.

I  noticed that the kmz URL at EDEIS contains a small typo. Just remove the extra erroneous 'o' from the link: tsun.sscc.ru/nh/images/Impacts.kmz

I looked at the locations here in Sweden and noticed that there are a bunch of misplaced ones...

Crater Lurks Beneath the Ice

An international team of researchers discovered a large meteorite impact crater hiding beneath the ice of northwest Greenland. The crater—the first found under the Greenland ice sheet—is one of the 25 largest impact craters on Earth, measuring roughly 300 meters (1,000 feet) deep and more than 30 kilometers (19 miles) in diameter.

To confirm their suspicions, the team sent a research plane from Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute to fly over the Hiawatha Glacier in May 2016 and map the crater and the overlying ice with a state-of-the-art ice-penetrating radar provided by the University of Kansas. “What we really needed to test our hypothesis was a dense and focused radar survey,” MacGregor noted. “The survey imaged the depression in stunning detail: a distinctly circular rim, central uplift, disturbed and undisturbed ice layering, and basal debris.”

The researchers believe the crater formed less than 3 million years ago when an iron meteorite—more than half a mile wide—smashed into northwest Greenland. The resulting depression was subsequently covered by ice. Kjær said that the crater’s condition indicates that the impact might have occurred toward the end of the last ice age, which would place the resulting crater among the youngest on the planet. ...

how on GEarth it has not been spotted before?

The shape certainly looks like part of a crater rim. Not all crater-shaped objects are of meteoric origin and I guess the ability to penetrate the ice with radar was the clincher.

thanks new english word, now I can add to my personal vocabulary! (:

well, it seems it was, and with the in-situ tectonic structure measurements and material sampling the story became round*.

(*in hungarian "kerek történet" / "round story"; when someones' story needs some essential addition to can be comprehended well we say: "Hey, this story is still not round..., (now say, what you have missed!)" )

in this case the expression "round story" also fits visually if you look the crater rim!(:

G'day Simon!

I have bumped into something in Algeria, which probably is a 700 meters diameter impact crater - not sure however; might it be some other, collapsed structure?
(no GE layer info, also missing from your collection)

No good resolution imagery on GE/GMaps so here I give link to ZoomEarth location and ZE screenshot of the feature:



Also I attach kmz placemark for GE reference:

what do you think of this one?

It is very difficult to make a statement without knowing the actual geological structure.
Only with the aerial photo as a source there is a risk of confusing them with ancient igneous intrusive rocks such as heavily eroded Laccoliths or Plutons.

The Brandberg Mountains in Namibia are a striking example of a Pluton.

Attachments:

Brandberg.kmz (684 B)

of course, that is why I named file as "possible" impact crater, however I do not think is a pluton - it is relatively small...

note, your example is 26 kilometers in diameter.

***
EDIT: - Thanks for the 14th dust devil anyways! (;

Probable Laccoliths can also be much smaller. Compare to the Devil Tower (Wyoming). Maybe in millions of years he can only see a ring a few hundred meters in diameter. As I said, there is a risk of confusion.

Agree. ...especially on high level, if it's me! (: - still I have thought it worth an asking around here.

Updated yesterday.
Includes Australiasian Strewnfield crater and more

Just now I have read this article by NASA EO about newly discovered crater in China.

Checking database (also considering post dates) I have realized that this must be a new piece for ya! ( ;
