The medallion marking the scientific point of impact for the Decorah meteorite was installed at Van Peenen Park in Decorah, Iowa, on or around April 22, 2024. The large bronze medallion is set in a concrete base and commemorates the 465-million-year-old impact crater buried 100 feet beneath the city.
