Scientists believe a newly-discovered crater believed to be the oldest in the world reveals a number of clues to the early days of life on Earth. A team of researchers at Curtin University’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences,

THE world’s oldest-known crater from an asteroid smash 3.5 billion years ago has been discovered in the Australian outback. The ancient hole, near the town of Marble Bar, north-west

It was a respectable tenure, but the world’s oldest known meteorite site is no longer western Australia’s 2.2 billion-year-old, 43-mile-wide Yarrabubba crater. Researchers at Curtin University and the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) say the new recordholder is located about 660 miles north in the country’s Pilbara region.

Curtin University researchers have discovered the world's oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could significantly redefine our understanding of the origins of life and how our planet was shaped.

We have discovered the oldest meteorite impact crater on Earth, in the very heart of the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The crater formed more than 3.5 billion years ago, making it the oldest known by more than a billion years. Our discovery is published today in Nature Communications.

Researchers have uncovered the world’s oldest known meteorite impact crater in an extraordinary breakthrough. Estimated to be 3.5 billion years old, the crater is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Scientists with a new theory about how Earth’s early continents formed predicted where a superold impact crater should be—then found it

A Curtin University group has identified what may be Earth’s oldest meteorite strike in a remote part of Western Australia’s Pilbara region, near the North Pole Dome. Evidence in local rock indicates the collision happened around 3.

Scientists have discovered the world's oldest known meteorite impact crater, which could reshape understanding of the origins of life and Earth itself.
