Hi,
Two things I don't believe in: coincidences and
leprechauns.
OK, I could be wrong about the coincidence, but I'm
right about the leprechauns, aren't I?
I wrote: "But Morokwong is a buried crater, not visible
on the surface. It is in fact only visualized by magnetic and
gravitational anomalies."
A summary of the geology can be found at:
http://www.unb.ca/passc/ImpactDatabase/images/morokweng.htm
An analysis of the meteoritic content of the impact melt
can be found at:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2000/pdf/1595.pdf
Tentatively, the impactor has been identified as an L chondrite:

Hopefully, a comparison of the found fragment with the
impact melt composition anomalies will rule it in or out. If
it WAS a coincidence, I'm still on the beam with the
leprechauns, right?

Another possibility is the meteorite fragment they found was from
another fall, and not from the impactor that created the crater.
Bear in mind a lot can happen geologically in 144 million years since
the crater was formed, not to mention erosion effects. The depth
the crater is at today is probably not the depth it was when it was
created.
