The Largest Meteor Crater on the Planet and it has been MISSED!

Let us start with the largest meteor cater on the planet to date that has been blamed for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Or least a large majority of life of the planet.

It is said that the 170 KM meteor crater that is in the Caribean Sea on the coast of Venisuala is the largest on the planet. This is just not the case.

This is the 800 KM meteor crater that I have found on Google Maps. It is easy to find and I am sure someone must have seen but it is not listed anywhere. It shows all the hallmarks of being a meteor crater and can be seen from a great distance. I can not find any geological maps to corrispond with the are. As you can see, it is massive.

I have studied the Earth Impact Database and found no mention of the meteor crater at all.

How do you verify a meteor crater that is under water?

That is the biggest problem. Visually it is correct. The central dome and blast radius that can been seen with ease. The blast radius even interrupts the the flow of the Earths crust. Not an easy thing to do.

Somebody please get a submersible to take some samples off the sea ocean floor for testing. I do not think that you could get samples from South Georgia and the South Sandwich Island, as I do not believe that they were there when the impact happened.

This is at the point of a Fault Line where movement over the last few millennia must have been massive.
