Barringer Crater 4,145 feet across 570 feet deep Known as the best preserved meteor crater in the world It was going 43,125 MPH 4x the size of the Atomic Bomb in Japan
History In 1871, Europeans thought it was a collapsed volcano. In 1902, Dr. Daniel Barringer determined that it was not a volcano because there were no volcanic rocks. Because of the 77,000-300,000 ton rocks speed towards earth it shattered into pieces.
