File:Shoemaker Impact Structure, Western Australia.JPG
Summary
The Shoemaker impact site is approximately 30 kilometres in diameter and clearly defined by concentric ring structures formed in sedimentary rocks (<a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Brown" class="mw-redirect" title="Brown">brown</a> to dark brown, image centre). Several saline and ephemeral lakes—Nabberu, Teague, Shoemaker, and numerous smaller ponds—occupy the land surface between the ring structures. Differences in colour result from both <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Water" title="Water">water</a> depth and from suspended sediments, with some bright <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Salt" title="Salt">salt</a> crusts visible around the edges of smaller ponds (image centre).
