Original Message Ancient impact of a gargantuan asteroid in southern Australia changed the face of the world forever, study reveals
Six-mile wide rock hit 300million years ago and left 120 mile impact zone
It is the third largest asteroid impact site on the planet
Seismic shock and fireball would have 'incinerated large parts of Earth'

A gargantuan asteroid which struck Australia more than 300million years ago changed the face of the Earth forever, a new study claims.

The six-mile diameter asteroid left an impact zone more than 120 miles wide - the third largest such site on the planet - and likely led to mass extinctions worldwide.

'The dust and greenhouse gases released from the crater, the seismic shock and the initial fireball would have incinerated large parts of the Earth,' said Andrew Glikson, visiting fellow at the Australian National University.
