Summary

Description
Español: El origen de este cráter de impacto de meteorito simple y clásico fue durante mucho tiempo objeto de controversia. El descubrimiento de fragmentos del meteorito Cañón Diablo, incluidos fragmentos dentro de los depósitos de brechas que llenan parcialmente la estructura, y la presencia de una variedad de características metamórficas de choque en la arenisca objetivo, confirmaron el origen del impacto. Las rocas objetivo incluyen carbonatos paleozoicos y areniscas; estas rocas se han volcado justo fuera del borde durante la eyección. Los depósitos de montículos justo más allá del borde son restos de la capa de eyección. Esta vista aérea muestra la expresión dramática del cráter en el árido paisaje.
English: The origin of this classic, simple meteorite impact crater was long the subject of controversy. The discovery of fragments of the Canyon Diablo meteorite, including fragments within the breccia deposits that partially fill the structure, and the presence of a range of shock-metamorphic features in the target sandstone, confirmed its impact origin. Target rocks include Paleozoic carbonates and sandstones; these rocks have been overturned just outside the rim during ejection. The hummocky deposits just beyond the rim are remnants of the ejecta blanket. This aerial view shows the dramatic expression of the crater in the arid landscape.
