Arial photography of Wolfe Creek Crater in Western Australia

WOLFE CREEK IIIB METEORITES

Found: 1947
Latitude: 19 Deg 18 Min South
Longitude: 127 Deg 46 Min East
Western Australia

That's me onsite of this magnificent preserved meteorite crater.

 

Wolfe Creek Crater is Australia's largest meteorite crater, the second best preserved crater in the world, after Arizona's Meteor Crater (Canyon Diablo) in the U.S.A. It is estimated that the impact occured about 300,000 years ago when a big lump of iron at approx. 50,000 tons in size hit the Earth. Wolfe Creek specimens are weathered, but are still heavily attracted to the magnet. They are found as shale balls and have a unique character, an attractive dark ginger natural patina. They are one of our planet's oldest known meteorites.

Wolfe Creek Crater or 'Gandimalal', as seen by our indigenous Australians:

Jaru and Walmajarri Aboriginal people call the crater Gandimalal and have known of its existence for thousands of years.

A Jaru story tells of two rainbow snakes moving across the land to form Jurambalarn (Sturt Creek) and Ngurriny (Wolfe Creek). Gandimalal is the place where one of the snakes came out of the ground.

A Walmajarri story tells of a rainbow snake named Karlputa who came to Gandimalal from Bidyadanga (La Grange) on the coast south of Broome. The crater rim is where Karlputa has pushed up the ground. The central area of the crater is salty because Karlputa came from the sea. Karlputa still lies under the crater.
