Re: [meteorite-list] Libyan (looks like a) crater

Hi Randy, As a layman's wild uneducated guess, I'd say the crater is more recent - perhaps from a bomb. Given the accepted terrestrial age of LDG, the impact site is presumably ~28 million years old. I don't know, the feature in that photo doesn't look quite that old and it looks too tenuous to

Randy, It does look like a crater! I wouldn't assume it's related to LDG per se, as that glass is found in Egypt. Did he give a rough indication of where in Libya? Wouldn’t an impact site for LDG be a bit larger in scale? The sample looks pretty interesting, but it could be sedimentary in

It is obviously a crater but the question is if it was produced by a meteorite or by human hand. As for the sample he collected it could be an accretion layer exposed by the cratering event, probably iron hydroxides (rust) and other mineral salts that have cemented the sand grains together. The
