JKG,
Think there's little doubt Johnny Tonko named
the Tonko Astrobleme to honor Johnny Tonko.
If pressed, I'm sure he could come up with
a website by Johnny Tonko naming the Tonko
Astrobleme in honor of Johnny Tonko.
The "astrobleme" is a small pond surrounded
by conifers in a cold but arid region. The trees are
restricted to the water source; the ground shows the
characteristic wrinkle of frozen taiga -- at least, that's
how I read the image he provided. One supposes
the proof of cometary origin is that the pond is
filled with rare cometary material... WATER.

Thanks for the link Chuck. I took some time and looked through the data
base and found no mention of a "Tonko Astrobleme." This seems odd to me
since the finder of the supposed comet crater , Johnny Tonko, made the
following statement on a gold prospector and meteorite forum
(NuggentShooter Forum):
"There is no separate write up on the crater other than the documentaion
naming it Tonko Astrobleme to honor me as the discoverer."
It seems to me that if the crater mentioned here was named to honor Johnny
Tonko, there should be some documentation available on the internet.
After all, if the USGS or some other governmental agency didn't name the
crater, who did?
Best,
JKG

Greetings,
Anyone interested in new meteorcraters should check this link out. Not
only a new one but from a
cometary impact. Nice for the researcher to post it on a forum rather
than the usual circles. You be
the judge.
