Amguid Crater
Located in a remote area in southwestern Algeria, the Amguid Crater is a relatively young crater. The crater has formed as the result of a meteor impact about 100,000 years ago. The 30 meters (100 feet) deep meteorite impact crater is perfectly circular and it is 450 meter (1476 feet) in diameter. There are blocks of sandstones that enclose the top of the rim. These sandstones are several meters in diameter. Filled with compacted eolian silts, the center of the crater is flat.
