Huge Jordanian Crater

[blobrana]

A huge crater caused by a gigantic meteorite has been discovered recently in the eastern part of Jordan, the largest meteorite crater in the region.
The impact site in Jabal Waqf es Swwan, some 200 km east of the Karak governorate in eastern Jordan, was discovered by geology professors of University of Jordan Elias Salameh and Hani Khoury, along with German professor Werner Schneider.

A meteorite struck the area around 7,500-10,000 years ago with an impact diameter of about 100 meters, the report said.

"The damage force of such an impact might equal 5,000 times that of the Hiroshima atomic bomb" Salameh said, adding that it would have destroyed everything within a radius of hundreds of kilometres.

Hum,
I'm sure his letter to "Satan Claws" had something similar and of  "biblical proportion" in it.

(But seriously, not all the news from the middle east is about death and destruction)

Hum,
there are a lot of volcanic structures in that region.
22°02'N/19°13'E  is  volcanic
21°56'N/24°54'E  looks like volcanic features
 
The only unclassified and as yet unreported crater i could find  is at  21°21'26.26"N/ 20°45'12.24"E
(it shows a partial ring wall)
