The Manson impact structure is an impact structure near the site of Manson, Iowa where an asteroid or comet nucleus struck the Earth during the Cretaceous Period, approximately 74 Ma.[1] It was one of the largest known impact events to have happened in North America.[2] Previously it was thought to have led to the extinction of the dinosaurs until isotopic ages proved that it was too old.[3]
