The new suspected impact crater is about 22 miles (36 kilometers) wide
114 miles (183 km) southeast of the first structure's location.
Despite the close proximity of the two features, scientists believe that even if both were formed by meteorites striking Earth, they were likely created separately. The team believes the newly-discovered structure formed more than 79,000 years ago, before any of the ice currently above it was in place.

So, anyone done the anti-podal sanity check on this, yet?
Also, I just want to reinforce, this isn't the right magnitude nor time scale to have anything to do with the dinosaurs. Chicxulub is no joke. That impact was such a monumental slam into our planet, that it had the energy dispersion necessary to put mount Everest into orbit.
