The size of the crater given in this article is somewhat confusing. It is stated that "the original size of the impact structure could have been 250 km in diameter, or possibly larger" and that "The crater has a diameter of roughly 300 km". While it's possible that both these are true, if that's the case an explanation of how the crater grew by 50km in diameter would be good. If only one of them's true, the other is either redundent or incorrect, though as I'm only really browsing through this post I don't really have the knowledge or the motivation to correct it. --143.167.228.12 17:45, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
- Even worse, the phrasing "The bolide that hit Vredefort is (...) estimated at over 10 km (6 miles) wide, although it is believed by many that the original size of the impact structure could have been 250 km in diameter" seems to confuse the size of the bolide and the size of the resulting crater.

The colour satellite image in the article is upside down.
It should look like the black and white image that is correct —Preceding unsigned comment added by Brinkja (talk • contribs) 15:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
