Wilkes Land and Bedout impacts

Both of these craters are about the same age, and both are suspects
in the Permian-Triassic extinction. Could a single body have
split to create two large simultaneous impacts? (That is what
happened to Jupiter in the mid-90's, except for the craters.)

Is there a more appropriate newsgroup for asking questions about
impact events?
