Crater in Rajasthan made by meteorite impact, claim experts
The crater in Rajasthan's Ramgarh village, long debated to have evolved from "tectonic activity" or "magmatism", was caused by "meteorite impact", a team including scientists from Geological Survey of India (GSI) has claimed. A 3-km-diameter meteorite is likely to have fallen at the location several crore years ago creating a trench of about 4 km diameter, said a team member.
