description Ragozinka Overview
Ragozinka is a buried meteorite impact crater in the middle Urals of Russia. The Earth Impact Database records a diameter of 9 kilometres, an estimated age of 46 ± 3 million years, and a subsurface structure that has been drilled but is not exposed. Its formation falls in the Eocene, and geological references describe it as a marine impact crater, referring to the environment at the time of impact. It is relevant to studies of the terrestrial impact record and Eocene geology.

help Ragozinka FAQ
What is the size of the Ragozinka crater?
The Ragozinka buried impact crater has a recorded diameter of about 9 kilometres. Its structure is underground and is not exposed at the surface.
Where is the Ragozinka crater located?
Ragozinka is in the middle Urals of Russia. It is a buried meteorite impact structure rather than an obvious surface crater.
How old is the Ragozinka impact crater?
The Earth Impact Database gives an estimated age of 46 plus or minus 3 million years. That places its formation in the Eocene.
How was the Ragozinka crater studied?
The subsurface structure has been drilled, because the crater is buried and not exposed. Geological evidence from the underground structure supports its impact origin.
