We have discovered the oldest meteorite impact crater on Earth, in the very heart of the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

These rocks were also found to contain spinel, likely aluminum spinel, which can form either in an igneous or a metamorphic environment, and can be found as remnants in sedimentary rocks.

Almost all sedimentary rocks are formed by water erosion, grinding up rocks over thousands or millions of years, before they are compacted and turned under pressure into sedimentary rock.

A research team linked nearby stellar explosions to at least one, possibly two, mass die-offs after calculating the supernova ...
