Meteor Capital of the World -- 2 Billion Years of History
Sudbury Basin (Sudbury Meteor)
Location: Sudbury - Ontario - Canada
Meteor's name: Miriah
Meteor size: 14 x 10 miles ( super class meteor )
Date of hit: 2 billion years ago
Crater size: 220 miles in diameter
Crater disturbance area: 300 mile multi ring diameter
Crater depth: 25 miles ( imploded within minutes )
Crater size today: 60 x 35 miles
Crater depth today: broad valley (only visible by aerial radar imagery)
Most distinguishing feature: The Sudbury Basin is the richest and largest
integrated mining complex in the world. There are
numerous mines nestled along the ancient hills that make up the crater rim. The
deepest operating mine in the western hemisphere is located here at 1.5 miles deep.
The Basin has been pegged as a trillion dollar asset. Yet, for all this talk about mines
and craters Sudbury and its surrounding landscape are a crown jewel nestled in the
beautiful forests, rivers and lakes of the pre-Cambrian Shield.

Hope this give you a general idea of what is out there!
