Subject: [meteorite-list] New Crater Found?
Hi All,
Ok, not "NEW" in geological terms, but new to us maybe... Just received an
email that and Australian geologist accidentally discovered a meteorite
crater in western Australia.
"Dr. Hickman, from the Geological Survey of Western Australia sent the
Google Earth picture to a colleague who was able to confirm that it was an
undiscovered meteorite crater. The crater is now named Hickman crater. The
crater is believed to be between 10,000 and 100,000 years old and is 885
feet across." SOURCE:
