Exposed impact crater in Libya From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The BP Structure, also known as Gebel Dalma, is an exposed impact crater in Libya. It is so called because it was identified by a BP (then British Petroleum) geological survey team.[1]

French et al. state that the BP Structure and the larger Oasis crater, about 88 km (55 mi) to the south, were probably simultaneous impacts.[2] Both impacts deform the Nubian Sandstone of early Cretaceous age.
