Guest solius symbiosus Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Nice chondrite. I would love to see a thin section of that. I don't have any meteorites, but here are maps of a couple of the impact sites I have visited.

Guest solius symbiosus Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have visited several, but those two are close to where I live. Both are probably pre-Silurian, and extremely weathered. The craters are long gone. The Jeptha knob is about 6 km in diameter; the Versailles is about 1.5 km in diameter. There is virtually nothing left of the Versailles except a small rise in elevation. The Jeptha Knob is a spectacular hill that "sticks out like a sore thumb". Most people that pass it, have no ideal what they are seeing, but it is obvious to all that it is something unusual. Their locations are: Jeptha Knob-38°10'35" N; 85°7'10" W Versailles-38°05'35" N; 81°41'00"W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenixflood Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 All very nice We have an underwater impact crater here in MD at the mouth of the bay. I wonder if anyone really has taken a good look down there, hmm? The soul of a Fossil Hunter is one that is seeking, always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
