Google Maps stumble uncovers a 390-million-year-old meteor crater in Quebec
A 15-mile-wide pit spotted on Google Maps in Quebec’s Côte-Nord region has been confirmed as a 390-million-year-old meteor crater. Fieldwork revealed shatter cones and melt rock, with zircon evidence supporting an extraterrestrial origin. The crater, centered near Lake Marsal, has been named Uhaachatik Crater following talks with the Ekuanitshit Innu council, and the team plans to present their findings at a German conference.
