T. Rex and the Crater of Doom the Brazos river that a tsunami has swept across the Gulf of Mexico millions of years earlier. The discovery was made thanks to a graduate student named Alan Hildebrand that notified Alvarez of the evidence of a crater on the Yucatan peninsula, which had never been published in the scientific literature by the Mexican petroleum geologists that had found it. The age of the crater needed to be determined if it was going to be a candidate for the KT boundary impact, but access to the region was limited by the crater being buried over time and the core samples
Tunnunik impact crater diameter struck the Earth. The desert-like landscape of impact craters like Tunnunik can be useful in understanding the geology of other rocky planets such as Mars. It is Canada's 30th known meteorite impact feature. Not to be confused with the unconfirmed Victoria Island structure in California, United States. Tunnunik impact crater The Tunnunik impact crater, formerly known as the "Prince Albert Impact Crater", is a recently confirmed meteorite impact crater. It is located on Prince Albert Peninsula in the northwestern part of Victoria Island in Canada's Northwest Territories. The wide crater was discovered in 2010 by Brian Pratt, professor of
