When did the first scientific description of an asteroid impact crater as a possible meteorite site appear?

In the early 20th century, geologists began seriously considering that some circular craters on Earth were caused by impacts from space rather than volcanic activity. Meteor Crater in Arizona became the classic example, and Daniel Barringer argued in 1903 that it was created by a meteorite impact. The impact origin was not fully accepted immediately, but later research confirmed it. This changed planetary geology by showing that Earth’s surface records violent collisions from space.
