Landsat image centered on the crater, showing the ray system. Image width approximately 9 km.A 60-gram fragment of the Gebel Kamil meteorite. The discoloration demonstrates the weathering of the iron due to its prolonged exposure to the elements.
The Kamil Crater is a 44.8 m (147 ft) wide and 15.8 m (52 ft) deep (original depth, a part covered by sand at present) meteorite impact crater in the East Uweinat Desert in southwestern New Valley Governorate, Egypt,[1][2] Only 0.6 km (0.4 mi) north of the border with the Sudan and 600 m (2,000 ft) above sea level. It was located in 2008 using Google Earth satellite imagery by Vincenzo de Michele (former curator of the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale di Milan in Milan, Italy).[3] It is one of the few craters with a well preserved Ray system formation.
