Thanks Marc. That is one clear crater . Great field patterns around it too.

It's amazing that this is only the second impact crater discovered in China. I know parts of the country are geologically young or covered in thick layers of recent sediment but the paucity of impact sites is remarkable for a country that size. Given that this one was hidden in plain sight I hope there will be more discoveries. It's visible in Google Maps at 46°23'04.9"N 129°18'47.0"E
