Everything about The Gatun Structure totally explained
The
Gatun structure is a possible eroded
impact crater. It is named after the nearby
Gatun Lake in
Panama. It was first discovered in
1972 by
geologist Bob Stewart and later studied by Livio L. Tornabene from the
University of South Florida Department of
Geology.
The structure is estimated to have formed about 20 million years ago. This would place the event in the
Miocene epoch. Despite the considerable
erosion, it was possible to estimate the original
diameter to have been 2.7 to 3
km, assuming the impact hypothesis is correct.
Although diagnostic evidence of impact hasn't been reported, evidence favoring an impact origin include the recovery of possible
impact glass at the site. Alternatively, the site may be of volcanic origin.
