Details
[edit]The Temimichat crater is located in northern Mauritania and has been listed together with other Mauritanian craters or crater-like features. Its diameter is about 700 metres (2,300 ft). According to Pomerol (1967), mafic rocks have been found in the area.[2] Its age is still unknown, but the present erosional level suggests a relatively old age of formation.
