Meteor impact in Oklahoma dated far later than expected
Original: A meteor hit Oklahoma 100 million years later than scientists thought
Researchers have revised the age of a meteorite impact site in Oklahoma, concluding the impact occurred roughly 100 million years more recently than previously believed. The redating changes assumptions about when the crater formed and what it reveals about impacts in North America. Science coverage of the finding is drawing attention to how impact sites can be misdated and what the new timeline means for the region's geological history.
Why now: A new study significantly revises the established age of a known Oklahoma impact site, surprising readers interested in geology and planetary science.
