Add Crater Infobox?
Someone may want to apply crater template

Is Yarrabubba really the oldest?
The article about Suavjarvi crater in Karelia gives an age for it greater than Yarrabubba's. The Suavjarvi article includes a dead link. I don't know any sources other than said dead link to verify Suavjarvi's age. SlyGuyFox (talk) 06:04, 7 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I suspect the reason that Yarrabubba impact structure is regarded to be the oldest known impact structure is because it is still disputed whether the putative Suavjarvi impact structure is either a real impact structure or misinterpretation of ordinary geologic features for which evidence of shock metamorphism is completely lacking.
