== Age == The age of the Rochechouart impact is a matter of debate. The ages (within the error bars) spans from less than 150 million years ago to over 240 million years. Since late 1990s the spreading has reduced and the last four determinations (since 2010) are converging toward an age between 203 and 207 million years during the [[Rhaetian]], two to five million years older than the [[Triassic]]-[[Jurassic]] boundary.<ref>{{Cite book|title=(U-Th)/He, U/Pb, and Radiation Damage Dating of the Rochechouart-Chassenon Impact Structure, France-Master thesis|author1=Horne A |publisher=Arizona State University|year=2016}}</ref><ref name="Schmieder">{{cite journal|last=Schmieder|first=M.|author2=Buchner, E.|author3=Schwarz, W.
