That's a pretty neat structure, altough I don't see it mentionned anywhere in different databases that I know about impact structures.
It would be interesting to talk to a geologist in the Nicaragua region to see if it has been studied yet! All we need to find is some shattercones outcrops, impactites or shocked quartz and Bingo! we have a new astrobleme! hehe ;)

Hi list,
has anybody heard about an impact crater in Nicaragua at coordinates :
13°21' N / 85° 57' W
It´s about 12km in diameter and the town of Las Praderas lies directly in
the center.
It´s very good to see in Google Earth.
As far as I know it´s definitely no volcano.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Stefan
