(Redirected from Haviland crater)
The 'Haviland Crater', also called the 'Brenham Crater', is a meteor crater (astrobleme) in Kiowa County, Kansas^[1][2].
The oval-shaped crater is 50 feet (roughly 15 meters) in diameter, making it one of the smallest impact craters in the world. Its age is estimated to be less than 1000 years, placing it in the Holocene.
Over 15,000 pounds (7,000 kilograms) of pallasite meteorites have been recovered from the Brenham fall^[3].
