Darwin Glass
History


line

Name: Darwin Glass
Location: Darwin Crater
Tasmania, Australia

A circular depression, one kilometer in diameter, is situated 5 miles
southeast of Mt. Darwin. The crater was possibly associated with the event
which produced Darwin glass. Originally, Darwin Glass was classified with
tektites. Now, it is generally recognized to be a typical meteorite crater
glass. Though it is not certain, it is believed that this glass was formed by
the impact that formed the one kilometer diameter, Mount Darwin Crater, about
700,000 years ago.
