The author, N.M. Short, states that "The tiny
crater was produced by a chemical explosion as part of an experiment to
duplicate on a small scale the Meteor Crater itself."

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

Crater
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
