I found two geological maps that cover the area of this alleged structure. they are: Kitscoty, Alberta, 1942, A Series, 1:253,440 scale, Geological Map http://geogratis.gc.ca/api/en/nrcan-rncan/ess-sst/b59bdeb9-e941-5e83-a51b-2ab4c2f210c0.html http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/geott/ess_pubs/106/106804/gscmap-a_673a_e_1942_mn01.pdf Bedrock Geology of the Vermilion Area (NTS 73E), Map 570, 1:250,000 scale, Alberta Geological Survey http://www.ags.gov.ab.ca/publications/map/PDF/Map_570.pdf http://www.ags.gov.ab.ca/publications/abstracts/MAP_570.html http://www.ags.gov.ab.ca/publications/pubs.aspx?pkey=vermilion The Kitscoty, Alberta, 1942, A Series, geological Map shows that this alleged feature is neither circular nor even a structure. This map show only relatively flat lying Cretaceous sedimentary strata that lacks any significant structure to it. There are a couple of accurate geomorphic features. But neither of them form a circle. It does not look like there is anything significant about this "feature." However, a nearby map that I came across shows what is called the "Eagle Butte Astrobleme" just west of the Cypress Hills, Alberta. The map is: Bedrock Geology of the Foremost Area (NTS 72E), Map 568, 1:250,000 scale, Alberta Geological Survey http://www.ags.gov.ab.ca/publications/abstracts/MAP_568.html http://www.ags.gov.ab.ca/publications/MAP/PDF/MAP_568.PDF The Cypress Hills, Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypress_Hills_(Canada) Yours, Paul H. ______________________________________________ Visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/meteoritecentral and the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
