Chesapeake Bay impact crater

The Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater was formed by the impact of an extraterrestrial bolide that hit about 35.5 million years ago, in the late Eocene Epoch. It is one of the best-preserved ‘wet-target’ or marine impact craters, and the largest impact crater in the USA. Continued slumping of sediments over the rubble of the crater have helped shape Chesapeake Bay.
