The crater is not exposed to the surface, having been eroded and covered by sedimentary rocks during the last glacial period. Vepriai crater is 8 km in diameter and its age is estimated to be greater than 160 ± 10 million years. The meteorite struck soft sandstone and limestone rocks thus its initial depth exceeded 500 m but the site was soon covered by sedimentary rocks, sand and clay.
