Odessa Texas Meteorite Crater
Another desert Meteorite Crater in USA is in Odessa TX- only a little older than Barringer Crater impacting 63,500 years ago
Imagine what it was like at the time of Impact:
Barringer Meteor Crater is beautifully preserved in the high Arizona desert landscape, but when it was formed the scenery was quite different!
Potential “New” Meteorite Crater for the Database
Recent research using magnetic anomalies and shocked rock is again presenting evidence that this is indeed a crater formed by a meteorite. And won’t the winery be relieved when its name (Domaine du Météore) is justified and the crater makes it onto the confirmed list!
Field Training and Research at Barringer Meteor Crater
The Center for Lunar Science and Exploration has created a field training and research program under the direction of David Kring, scientific advisor to Barringer Crater.
