PRE-ORDER FOR END OF APRIL 2018. Description To those who collect meteorite coins, a new stunning release in Meteorite Crater series by Niue! Only 666 pieces worldwide! The PINGUALUIT formerly called Chubb Crater and later New Quebec Crater (cratère du Nouveau-Québec), is a young impact crater, by geological standards, located on the Ungava Peninsula, in the administrative region of Nord-du-Québec, in Quebec, Canada. It is 3.44 km (2.14 mi) in diameter, and is estimated to be 1.4 ± 0.1 million years old (Pleistocene). The crater and the surrounding area are now part of Pingualuit National Park. The only species of fish in the crater lake are arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus. The crater was formed by a meteorite impact 1.4 Ma, as estimated by 40Ar/39Ar dating of impact melt rocks. An analysis of these rocks also revealed planar deformation features as well as the composition of the meteorite itself. The Ir, Ni, Co and Cr enrichments found in impact melt samples suggest that the meteorite was chondritic in nature. The crater is exposed to the surface, rising 160 m (520 ft) above the surrounding tundra and is 400 m (1,300 ft) deep. The 267 m (876 ft) deep Pingualuk Lake fills the hollow, and is one of the deepest lakes in North America. The lake also holds some of the purest fresh water in the world, with a salinity level of less than 3 ppm (the salinity level of the Great Lakesis 500 ppm). 999 Diameter: 38.61 mm Weight: 1 OZ Finish: Blue Antique Finish Mintage: 666 Pcs Worldwide Certificate COA: Yes Box: Yes.
