mental morsel #4

Whenever i see a U-Haul truck i am excited to both read the geography specific tidbit on the side and see if it is about my state.
Today my mind was BLOWN by the tidbit not only being about Maryland (Delmarva Peninsula specifically, but close enough), but being something i had never, ever heard before.
The largest impact crater in the United States is under the Chesapeake Bay. (wiki)
What-what-what?
So i love Maryland, love trivia, spent 18 years driving around Delmarva exploring and have a degree in marine science, but have never heard this?
Thank you, U-Haul. You made my day.
I hope your mind is sufficiently blown now, too.
