Your Friend, Scott Jordan Preservation Spotlight The heritage of the Pecos Trail Region includes the natural heritage of our environment and landscape which has helped to shape our living culture and contribute to modern science history. The Odessa Meteor Crater, located 5 miles west of Odessa city limits just off Interstate 20, was formed about 62,000 years ago when a shower of nickel-iron meteorites collided with the earth. More than 100,000 cubic yards of crushed rock were ejected from the crater by the energy released from the mass of impacting meteorites, with fragments scattering over the surrounding plain. The main crater is about 550 feet across and was originally 100 feet in depth (erosion has since filled in much of it). A walking trail leads into the main crater and smaller craters. The Odessa Meteor Crater, designated a National Natural Landmark in 1965, is the second largest crater recognized in the United States. It was first discovered in 1892 by Julius Henderson, a nearby rancher. However, it was D. Moreau Barringer (whose family owned the famous Barringer Crater in Arizona) who in the 1920s correctly identified the land depression as a meteorite crater. The site, located at 3100 Meteor Crater Rd, has a visitor-friendly museum with exhibits of meteoric rock specimens, tektites, geological studies, maps, historical videos, and science-fiction movie posters. Museum open Tue -Sat 10 a.m.—5 p.m. and Sun 1-5 p.m. Crater trail open for self-guided tours everyday 9 a.m.—6 p.m. Free admission. Call (432) 381-0946 for more information.

In this contribution, I summarize the processes and products of impact cratering and provide and an up-to-date assessment of the geological record of meteorite impacts. 1. INTRODUCTION It is now widely recognized that impact cratering is a ubiquitous geological process that affects all planetary objects with a solid surface (e.g., [1]). One only has to look up on a clear night to see that impact structures are the dominant landform on the Moon. The same can be said of all the rocky and icy bodies in the solar system that have retained portions of their earliest crust.

  • Abstracts of the Geological Society of America December Meeting at Austin Andaltjsite in Californian Eocene Sediments Bt Victor T
    ABSTRACTS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA DECEMBER MEETING AT AUSTIN ANDALTJSITE IN CALIFORNIAN EOCENE SEDIMENTS BT VICTOR T. ALLEN Californian Chico Cretaceous sandstones near Folsom and Pentz and at the type locality on Chico Creek lack pink andalusite. The overlying Eocene lone sandstones and correlated auriferous gravels contain pink andalusite derived from the bedrock series of the Sierra Nevada. If these Cretaceous and Eocene sediments were both derived from the same source, it appears that contact aureoles around Sierran intrusions with a grade of metamorphism sufficiently high to contain andalusite were not exposed by erosion until Eocene time. Under the Great Valley at several local­ ities a similar limitation of andalusite to the Eocene and younger sediments has been found. It is suggested that careful watch be kept by all investigators to check the possibility of using andalusite to separate Cretaceous from Eocene sediments in California. (Geological Society project.) JOINT PATTERNS IN HIGHLY FOLDED AND CRYSTALLINE ROCKS OF THE NORTHERN NEW JERSEY HIGHLANDS AND THEIR RELATION TO APPALACHIAN OROGENY BY ALFRED N . APPLEBY* Pre-Cambrian rocks predominate in the Highlands of northern New Jersey. Asso­ ciated with them are Paleozoic formations, the youngest of which are Devonian. All are highly folded and metamorphosed. The mantle is largely resultant from Pleisto­ cene glaciation. The rocks are well jointed. Most are shear joints caused by com­ pressive stresses. The observations were made in an area of approximately 200 square miles, between Dover and the New York State line and between Hamburg and Pompton Lakes. For purposes of comparison, some Triassic rocks to the east of this area were examined.
