No. Just, no.

[edit]

Beaverhead is NOT one of the largest craters on earth. I don't know WHO thought that up. Vredefort Crater is the largest verified crater on Earth. --192.55.208.10 (talk) 04:53, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's #15 in the List of Impact Craters on Earth. 66.232.250.154 (talk) 06:50, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Add Crater Infobox?

[edit]

Someone may want to apply crater template {{Infobox crater | crater_name = {{PAGENAME}} | image_crater = | alt_crater = | caption_crater = | image_bathymetry = | crater_name = {{SUBST:PAGENAME}} | 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 = }}

Article name needs to be corrected to "Beaverhead impact structure"

[edit]

The name of this article needs to be corrected to "Beaverhead impact structure". This not an impact crater, which is the topographic expression of an impact. In case of the Beaverhead impact structure, the original topographic expression of the impact, its crater, has been long since been destroyed by erosion leaving only the deformed bedrock , which is the impact structure, behind. Besides, the literature published on it overwhelmingly calls it an "impact structure". Paul H. (talk) 03:01, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
