Unconfirmed impact structures

Main article: List of possible impact structures on Earth

The following structures are officially considered "unconfirmed" because they are not listed in the Earth Impact Database. Due to stringent requirements regarding evidence and peer-reviewed publication, newly discovered craters or those with difficulty collecting evidence generally are known for some time before becoming listed. However, entries on the unconfirmed list could still have an impact origin disproven.

Bedout[3][4]	Indian Ocean, Western Australia	200	250 million	18°S 119°E
Darwin Crater[5]	Tasmania	1.2	800 thousand	42°19′S 145°40′E
Deniliquin multiple-ring feature[6]	Southeast Australia	520	445-444 million, Hirnantian mass extinction event[7]	35°32′0″S 144°58′0″E
