Summary
| Description |
English: Natural-colour image of Goat Paddock Crater. Sunlight from the north-east leaves south-western facing slopes in shadow. Radial gorges extend outward from the crater, especially in the east and south-east. Cliffs surround the crater, rising to a height of about 100 to 150 meters. Spanning roughly 5 kilometres, Goat Paddock Crater has a slightly elliptical shape. Dating from the Eocene Epoch, the crater is likely less than 50 million years old, but the impact bored into Proterozoic sandstones well over 500 million years old. Neither bowl-shaped nor uplifted, the surface of Goat Paddock Crater is flat. Much of the crater rim slumps inward. The floor of Goat Paddock Crater is covered by sediments deposited since the Pleistocene Epoch. |
