Located in Western Australia, about 100 kilometers northeast of the town of Wiluna. Named after Eugene Shoemaker, a planetary geologist and pioneer in impact crater research, in honor of his contributions. The diameter is approximately 30 kilometers, defined by concentric ring structures formed in sedimentary rocks. The formation age is not yet fully determined, but it is estimated to have been around 1 to 600 million years ago, which may make it the oldest impact crater in Australia. It is of great significance in geology and stands out due to its unique geological features, presenting an appearance of a different world.
