extract from the cache description:

"The Charlevoix crater is a large eroded meteorite impact crater in Quebec. Only part of the crater is exposed at the surface, the rest being covered by the Saint-Lawrence River. The original crater is estimated to have been 54 km in diameter and the age is estimated to be 342 ± 15 million years (Mississippian). The clear energy at the time of impact represents 20 million megatonnes of TNT, that is thousands of times the combined potency of all worldwide nuclear war equipment. It is the biggest thirteenth crater identified on earth. It is the 2nd biggest crater in Quebec, right behind Manicouagan crater, and the 3rd in Canada. The projectile was probably a stony asteroid, at least two kilometres in diameter, and weighing an estimated 15 billion tonnes."
