Much has been made of the fact this is
wet soil. Yes, it has a high water table and
underground streams and so forth. But this is
high mountain plains (Altiplano), an ancient
limestone intermountain basin. The soil is
rocky. Several strata of rock are visible in the
crater walls.
It makes me wonder what soil/rock layers there are at the impact site. If
there are some samples of the harder rock that Mike mentions maybe it is an
indication of how deep the impactor went as it may have thrown up material
from deeper down. Just a thought. Given how wet and muddy the surface
