context_page_description: Iturralde crater is a 8 kilometres diameter circular feature in Madidi National Park in the Bolivian portion of the Amazon Rainforest, first identified from Landsat satellite imagery in 1985. The structure is located in a remote area in the Abel Iturralde Province of La Paz Department and has been visited by researchers in 2002. On the basis of millions of glass beads, it has been hypothesised the structure has been formed in the Late Pleistocene from an air bursting, non-impacting, meteorite as the Tunguska event in 1908.

On the basis of millions of glass beads, it has been hypothesised the structure has been formed in the Late Pleistocene (between 30,000 and 11,000 years ago) from an air bursting, non-impacting, meteorite as the Tunguska event in 1908.
