Sudbury Impact Breccia and Fe-Formation
 

1850 my ago, there was a huge impact crater formed at Sudbury, Ontario, 500 km E of Negaunee.  This was a huge meteorite, similar to the Hadean bombardment, although it happened in the Archean. This great event seems to have ended the period of banded iron formation.
