Whitecourt crater, Impact crater in Woodlands County, Canada
The circular depression measures 36 meters in diameter and 6 meters in depth, featuring a raised rim and scattered meteorite fragments around its perimeter.
Local resident Sonny Stevens discovered the crater on July 3, 2007, leading to scientific investigations that determined its formation between 1,080 and 1,130 years ago.
The crater site functions as an educational center where students and researchers study geological processes and meteorite impact patterns through field investigations.
A protected zone of 200 meters by 200 meters surrounds the crater, with regulations imposing fines of $50,000 or imprisonment for unauthorized collection of materials.
Scientists have collected more than 3,000 pieces of the iron meteorite, including fragments weighing up to 500 grams and a single piece of 31 kilograms.
