The Arkenu craters are a pair of eroded impact craters in Libya. They are 10 km and 6.8 km in diameter, and lie about 70 km west of Jabal Arkanu. The craters are believed to have formed simultaneously as a double impact event less than 140 million years ago (Jurassic or younger). Both are exposed at the surface.[1][2]
