Veevers crater

Veevers crater is an impact crater located on a flat desert plain between the Great Sandy and Gibson Deserts in the center of the state of Western Australia, Australia. The site is very remote and difficult to visit. The crater was discovered from the air in July 1975^[2] during a government geological survey and named in honor of Australian geologist John Veevers^[3] who had worked in the area in the late 1950s.^[4] At the time of discovery a meteorite impact origin was suspected, but could not be proven. The subsequent discovery of iron meteorite fragments around the crater by E.M. and C.S. Shoemaker in 1984 ^[5] removed any doubt about its origin.
