Google Analytics runs automatically to help us understand which public Wonders and explorer tools are useful, unless you turn it off or your browser requests no tracking. Google receives a browser identifier, sanitized page locations and allowlisted interaction events. Google may also receive network information such as your IP address when your browser contacts its service.

For signed-in members with analytics enabled, CodexMira associates that browser identifier with verified purchase, credit and billing outcomes so renewals and automatic top-ups can be measured without an open browser.

You can turn analytics off here. Turning it off stops new Google tracking, clears Google Analytics cookies on this site and asks the server to revoke the member analytics association. Already-collected reports cannot be removed by clearing browser cookies. Necessary sign-in, payment and operational records remain separate from analytics.

Wolfe Creek Crater (Kandimalal)

Natural Landscape

Description

Wolfe Creek Crater (Kandimalal) is a natural landscape in Australia, Oceania. University of Wollongong — New study reveals secrets of Wolfe Creek Crater (2019) gives its chronology as “A 2019 study reported by the University of Wollongong estimated an impact age of around 120,000 years using exposure dating and optically stimulated luminescence. This is a source-attributed geological estimate, not a precise calendar year.”

University of Wollongong — New study reveals secrets of Wolfe Creek Crater (2019) also records: “A meteorite impact excavated the crater, which later accumulated desert sediment. The University of Wollongong reports that meteorite fragments have been recovered and that aerial photographs were used to reconstruct the crater’s topography.”

Wolfe Creek Crater, also known as Kandimalal, is a preserved meteorite impact crater on the edge of Western Australia’s Great Sandy Desert. Its raised rim surrounds a floor partly filled by wind-blown sediment. A 2019 study reported an average diameter of about 892 metres and estimated that the impact occurred around 120,000 years ago, revising an older estimate of 300,000 years. The crater preserves evidence of a natural impact event rather than human excavation. Recovered meteorite fragments and the surviving landform make it a useful comparison with other impact sites; a comet origin is not established.
