| has gloss | eng: Veevers crater is an impact crater located on a flat desert plain between the Great Sandy and Gibson Deserts in the center of the state of Western Australia, Australia. The site is very remote and difficult to visit. The crater was discovered in July 1989 during a government geological survey and named in honor of Australian John James Veevers who had worked in the area in the late 1980s . At the time of discovery a meteorite impact origin was suspected, but could not be proven. The subsequent discovery of iron meteorite fragments around the crater by E.M. and C.S. Shoemaker in 1990 removed any doubt about its origin. |
