Tukuk-OS☄️ Bedout
Australia · Oceania · 18.00°S, 119.00°E
Bedout, or more specifically the Bedout High, is a geological and geophysical feature centered about 250 km off the northwestern coast of Australia in the Canning and overlying Roebuck basins. Although not obvious from sea floor topography, it is a roughly circular area about 30 km in diameter where older rocks have been uplifted as much as 4 km towards the surface and may mark the centre of a very large buried impact crater up to 250 km in diameter. The Bedout High was penetrated by two petroleum exploration wells in the 1970s and 1980s. It is named after nearby Bedout Island.
