Amguid Crater Algeria

In the inaccessible region of southwestern Algeria, there is a meteorite crater named Amguid Crater. This is roughly 65 meters deep and around 500 to 530 meters in diameter (measured with Google Earth). Amguid Crater is approximately 100,000 years old and is maybe Pleistocene. However, more research required to identify the exact age. In 1948, this crater was unearthed by a few Europeans.

However, in 1969 the first scientific description was given by French geologist Jean-Phillippe Lefranc, who reached with a lot of efforts and positive energy. Roman Karpoff a French explorer noticed the possible impact of the crater from a plane in 1948.
