The enigmatic Stac Fada Member of the Torridonian Supergroup. Formed approximately 1 billion years ago by meteorite impact, but lots of unknowns. Where is the crater? Why so much glass and accretionary lapilli, and so little shocked material? #geology #impactcraters #scottishhighlands #outdoors

Québec has some other #ImpactCraters that are more obvious than this one.
Manicouagan Reservoir is an annular lake created 214 million years ago by the impact of a #meteorite 5 km in diameter.
There's also the Pingualuit #ImpactCrater on the Ungava Peninsula.

Early Life on Earth May Have Thrived in Impact Craters
A team of South Korean scientists has uncovered new evidence that could help explain how Earth’s atmosphere became rich in oxygen, one of the most transformative events in the planet’s history. Researchers from the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) report the finding of stromatolites, layered structures formed by microbial communities, within the Hapcheon impact crater on the Korean Peninsula. While the Hapcheon crater is only about 40,000 years old, it shows how stromatolites got a boost from the heat in impact crater hydrothermal systems.
