DescriptionThe original crater is estimated to have been {{convert|54|km|mi}} in diameter and the age is estimated to be 342 ± 15 million years (Mississippian). The projectile was probably a stony asteroid, at least {{convert|2|km|mi}} in diameter, and weighing an estimated {{convert|15|billion tonne|ST|lk=on}}. The Mont des Éboulements, situated in the exact centre of the crater, is interpreted as the central uplift, a consequence of elastic rebound.[2] The crater is classified as a multi-ringed basin with a central uplift. The impact origin of Charlevoix crater was first realized in 1965 after the discovery of many shatter cones in the area. Other evidence for impact includes planar deformation features (PDFs) in quartz and feldspar grains. In contrast to the surrounding craggy Laurentian Mountains, the crater is relatively smooth and flat, which has facilitated human settlement. Today, 90% of the people of Charlevoix live within this crater.[2] References1. ^{{Cite Earth Impact DB |name=Charlevoix |accessdate=2017-10-09}} 2. ^1 Interpretation Centre, Parc national des Grands-Jardins, Charlevoix External links
