Meteor Crater or Barringer Crater is a meteorite impact crater about
37 mi (60 km) east of Flagstaff and 18 mi (29 km) west of Winslow
in the desert of northern Arizona, United States.
The site had several earlier names,
and fragments of the meteorite are officially called
the Canyon Diablo Meteorite,
after the adjacent Canyon Diablo.
Meteor Crater lies at an elevation of 5,640 ft (1,719 m) above sea level.
It is about 3,900 ft (1,200 m) in diameter,
some 560 ft (170 m) deep, and is surrounded by
a rim that rises 148 ft (45 m) above the surrounding plains.
The center of the crater is filled with 690–790 ft (210–240 m)
of rubble lying above crater bedrock.
One of the features of the crater is its squared-off outline,
believed to be caused by existing regional jointing (cracks)
in the strata at the impact site.
