The Haviland Crater, also called the Brenham Crater, is a meteorite crater (astrobleme) in Kiowa County, Kansas.[1][2]
The oval crater is 50 feet (15 m) in diameter, making it one of the smallest impact craters in the world. Its age is estimated to be less than 1000 years.[3] It has been explored with ground-penetrating radar.[4]
