If he is in the Ozarks, he could talking about the Weaubleau structure as discussed below. >Proof is coming. One way or the other. I trust >you'll accept the assessment of a Caltech impact >geologist. If a person would read the abstract about the suspected California crater, a person will find that they readily admit that it being an impact crater is just one of several possible hypotheses for its origin. they readily admit that the origin of the California feature is uncertain. they are arguing that this feature is worthy of further study. The URL for the possible California crater abstract is: http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2002CD/finalprogram/abstract_35124.htm There is a large geologic structure in the Ozarks, which is hypothesized to be an impact structure. It could be what the gentleman is talking about as it has been published locally in the papers. Some URLs are: Popular Articles: 1.
