This is Not a Meteor Crater

[kayshapero]

In fact strictly speaking it doesn't appear to be a crater at all, but the remains of a large dome which has worn down so far as to reveal all sorts of nifty features. Leastwise, this is the current assumption since there are no signs of the sort of shock features you GET with meteoric craters, two of which can be found in a line with it.



It's located in Mauritania, Africa and called the Eye of the Sahara, or Richat Structure. This particular photo is but one of many from this page which I recommend looking at. My thanks to gifmovie on Tumbler for pointing this and a lot of other cool places out.
