275:. However, this is only a relic of the original crater after considerable erosion. Estimates of the original rim diameter vary between different researchers in the range 24–40 km (15–25 mi); the Earth Impact Database prefers a diameter of 25 km (16 mi). The age of the impact event has been determined at 646 ± 42

The circular topographic feature that marks the site was originally thought to be volcanic, with an impact origin first proposed in 1971 after the discovery of evidence diagnostic of impact including
