Here's a link to an aerial view of the test crater to the SSW of
Meteor Crater:

The much smaller test crater is at about the 7 o'clock position
relative to the "real" crater.  --Rob

Kim,

If this crater is to the SW of Meteor Crater, then it is a test crater
that was created to see what the results would be in similar strata
when it was blown outward by conventional explosives.  I don't
remember the specifics, but have seen high altitude photos of it and
read about its creation.  Other list members may have further info.

Regards,

Jon Fox
