Shoemaker crater. Satellite image of the Shoemaker impact crater in Western Australia. This deeply-eroded remnant of a former impact crater consists of a central circular region of uplifted archaean granite about 12 km in diameter,surrounded by a downwarped ring of sedimentary rocks with an outer limit of disturbance at about 30 km in diameter,which is a minimum estimate of the size of the original crater. The area also contains a number of seasonal salt lakes.
