Meteor impact in Oklahoma dated 100 million years later than believed
Original: A meteor hit Oklahoma 100 million years later than scientists thought
New research indicates a meteorite impact in Oklahoma occurred roughly 100 million years more recently than scientists previously estimated, revising the timing of the impact event. The finding forces a rethinking of the region's geological history and shows how improved dating methods can overturn long-held assumptions about ancient impact sites in North America.
Why now: A new study dramatically revises the accepted age of a known impact site, which is striking news in the science community.
