Decaturville crater
The Decaturville crater, also referred to as the Decaturville Dome, is an impact crater in Missouri, United States, and is one of the 38th parallel structures.
It is 6 km in diameter and the age is estimated to be less than 300 million years (Permian or younger). The crater is exposed at the surface.[1]
Decaturville Crater was described and mapped in detail by T. W. Offield and H. A. Pohn under NASA funding in the 1970s. Their work was reported in a 1979 Geological Survey Professional Paper that provides the most detailed description to date.[2]
The effect that this impact had on the surrounding bedrock can be seen in a roadcut that runs along Highway 5 about 16 miles north of Lebanon.
