A Buried Oklahoma Crater Was Dated to the Wrong Era—and It Actually Lines Up With a Mass Extinction
📍 How it ended
{ "epilogue": "Texas researchers modified the impact date for the buried Ames impact crater in Oklahoma, determining that the meteor hit about 100 million years later than previously thought. This revised timeline linked the ten-mile-wide crater to a violent 372-million-year-old mass extinction event.
Consequently, the finding rewrote ancient state history regarding the crater's era." }
