A meteorite that size would leave a massive circular crater (unless the angle of impact was less than 13 degress when it would leave a massive a-symetric creater). There is no ridge or ejecta curtain. It would also quite literally melt the sand and would be generally pretty catastrophic for anyone standing that close.

Knew my degree wasn't wasted
