Interesting facts about this location
Vepriai crater
Vepriai is the largest impact crater in Lithuania, named after the town of Vepriai located at its center. 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.
