Other/historical names associated with this locality:
Bovtyshka crater
Buried impact crater with a diameter of 24 kilometres and an age of 65.17 Β± 0.64 million years, based on argon dating techniques. This age is within error of that of Chicxulub Crater in Mexico, and the CretaceousβPaleogene boundary (KβPg boundary). The Boltysh impact likely occurred several thousand years before Chicxulub. The melt sheet has a diameter of 11-12 km and a thickness of 160 m.
Located near the village of Bovtyshka.
