Jinlin Crater: Holocene’s Giant Impact and the Rewrite of Earth’s Cosmic History

We uncover Jinlin Crater—China’s stunning 900-meter Holocene impact site in Guangdong—pristine despite a harsh monsoon climate. Join us as we explain how microscopic planar deformation features in quartz prove a meteorite struck Earth, estimate a roughly 30-meter object, and explore what this means for planetary defense and our understanding of Earth’s recent cosmic history.
