Summary
Australia's Aboriginal people had long known about the crater near Wolfe Creek by the time an aerial survey identified it in 1947. Almost circular, Wolfe Creek Crater (also known as Wolf Creek Crater) is considered the second largest crater in the world from which meteorite fragments have been collected. Because of its excellent preservation, the crater clearly shows the classic features that result from a large meteorite striking the Earth.
