Ancient Wisconsin meteorite left giant impact crater
Scientists say a 650 to 700 foot meteorite slammed into Wisconsin about 450 million years ago near Rock Elm, creating a four mile crater now buried by shale and sediment. The event, occurring at speeds up to 67500 mph, helps map global impact patterns and is a rare geologic record.
