The BP Structure, also known as Gebel Dalma, is an exposed impact crater in Libya. It is so called because it was identified by a BP (then British Petroleum) geological survey team.[1]
The crater is 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) in diameter and its age is estimated to be less than 120 million years (Lower Cretaceous or later).
About 88 km (55 mi) to the south is the larger Oasis crater.
