Meteorite Impact Craters

A quick look at the chart below shows that almost all the 10+ meter craters dated within the last 50,000 years have meteorite fragments associated with them. Of those older, only 3 have meteorites and none older than 1 million years. It appears the Macha, Russia crater would be a prime target for investigation. I have rated availability based solely on my judgment of availability and presence in major institutional collections. This information was collected from numerous sources and assistance from the great Bernd Pauli database.
