Victoria Island structure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Victoria Island structure is a bowl-shaped structure approximately 5.5 km across, buried under shale sediments to the west of Stockton, California, United States. It may be a buried meteorite impact crater formed between 37 and 49 million years ago.[1]
It was discovered during oil exploration and reported at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston, Texas in March 2007.
The structure, part of what was formerly a sea bed, is approximately circular and currently lies 1,490–1,600 meters (4,890–4,250 ft) below sea level.
