Rare Ureilite Meteorite formed Dhala structure in MP: AU study

Scientists from Allahabad University and the University of Bern have discovered that the Dhala structure in India was formed by a rare ureilite meteorite between 2500 and 1700 million years ago, making it the world's seventh oldest impact structure. This finding could revolutionize our understanding of impact events on Earth and the early history of the solar system. Further investigations into the Dhala impact structure are underway to uncover more details about the nature of this rare meteorite and its implications for our understanding of the early solar system and the development of life on Earth.
