The Meteor Crater was created about 50,000 years ago. The meteorite which excavated the crater was a giant piece of nickel-iron meteorite about 50 meters across weighing 300,000 tonne (330,000 short tons), which impacted the plain at a speed of 20 kilometers per second (45,000 mph).

 

The impact produced a massive explosion equivalent to about 150 times the yield of the atomic bombs used at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
