Yes, Gosses Bluff Crater, Northern Territory, Australia.

"Gosses Bluff (Gosse's Bluff) is an impact crater in Northern Territory, Australia. Today the crater measures 5 km (3 mi) in diameter and is 150 m (500 ft) high. It is located 175 km (109 mi) west of Alice Springs at 23°49′ S 132°19′ E.

The crater was created by a meteorite impact approximately 142.5 ± 0.8 million years ago in the Upper Jurassic, devastating more than 20 km² (8 square miles). The original crater was about 22 km in diameter but has been reduced over time due to erosion and is exposed to the surface.

To the Australian Aborigines it is known as Tnorala and is a sacred place to the Western Arrente Aboriginal people. The crater is now located in the Tnorala Conservation Reserve."

Lion of Babylon (destroyed)

"Basra, Jul 29, (VOI) – Unidentified gunmen blew up the Lion of Babylon statue in central Basra during the early hours of Sunday, eyewitnesses said.

"An explosive charge was planted under the statue, completely destroying it the historical monument in Basra," an eyewitness told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).

The statue, one of the historical landmarks in Basra, 590 km south of Baghdad, was built in the 1920s and symbolized the Babylonian civilization.

The Lion of Babylon, large and splendidly carved in basalt, is reminiscent of the legend that the lion was the symbol of the goddess Ishtar, the ancient Assyrian and Babylonian goddess of love, fertility, and war. In the sculpture, the lion's back has marks indicating that it was meant for a precious saddle upon which the goddess Ishtar would stand."
