Add Crater Infobox?
[edit]Someone may want to apply crater template {{Infobox crater | crater_name = {{SUBST:PAGENAME}} | image_crater = | alt_crater = | caption_crater = | image_bathymetry = | alt_bathymetry = | caption_bathymetry = | location = | coords = {{coord|89|59|59|N|179|59|59|W|region:ZZ_type:waterbody|display =inline,title}} | type = | basin_countries = | length = | width = | area = | depth = | max-depth = | volume = | rim = | elevation = | cities = | reference = }}

Is Yarrabubba really the oldest?
[edit]The article about Suavjarvi crater in Karelia gives an age for it greater than Yarrabubba's. The Suavjarvi article includes a dead link. I don't know any sources other than said dead link to verify Suavjarvi's age. SlyGuyFox (talk) 06:04, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
- I suspect the reason that Yarrabubba impact structure is regarded to be the oldest known impact structure is because it is still disputed whether the putative Suavjarvi impact structure is either a real impact structure or misinterpretation of ordinary geologic features for which evidence of shock metamorphism is completely lacking.
