Siljan Ring. The Siljan Ring (Swedish Siljansringen) is a prehistoric impact crater in Dalarna central Sweden It is one of the 15 largest known impact craters on Earth and the largest in Europe with a diameter of about 52 kilometres (32 mi)The impact that created the Siljan Ring occurred when a meteorite collided with the Earth’s surface during the Devonian period about.

Abstract The final results are in from the first major drilling operation undertaken to explore the deeper levels of the Siljan ring impactor crater in Central Sweden The results demonstrate that hydrocarbon gases from methane to pentaneas well as a light largely saturated oilare present deep in the granitic rock.
