Tenoumer impact crater, Mauritania - Tenoumer impact crater, Mauritania - The Tenoumer impact crater in Mauritania is said to have been formed 10,000 to 30,000 years ago and has a diameter of 1.9 km. Image made from the International Space Station on 1 March 2007. Tenoumer impact crater, Mauritania, as seen by the International Space Station on march 1st 2007. Nearly a perfect circle, it is 1.9 kilometers (1.2 miles) wide, and sports a rim 100 meters (330 feet) high. The crater sits in a vast plain of rocks so ancient they were deposited hundreds of millions of years before the first dinosaurs walked the Earth. Modern geologists long debated what caused this crater, some of them favoring a volcano. But closer examination of the structure revealed that the crater's hardened lava”” was actually rock that had melted from a meteorite impact. Although it resides in ancient rock, Tenoumer is geologically young, ranging in age between roughly 10,000 and 30,000 years old.
