It is 6 km in diameter and the age is estimated to be less than 300 million years (Permian or younger). The crater is exposed to surface. It is located at approximately 37° 54' north and 92° 43' west.
The effect that this impact had on the surrounding bedrock can be seen in a roadcut that runs along highway 5 about 16 miles north of Lebanon.
