Right, but I don't believe that Campo del Cielo is noted as a witnessed fall. If we're going to start listing every crater associated with meteorite fragments, we're going to get a much longer list. The only accepted witnessed falls that have led to the formation of legitimate craters are Carancas and Sikhote Alin. Another list member suggested Sterlitamak; I still believe that, according to the description of the impact features found:
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1992Metic..27R.276P - That this is an impact pit, not a crater. Note the description of sheer walls, etc. Regards, Jason On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 2:51 PM, Ted Bunch <[email protected]> wrote: > Rubin de Celis crater of the Campo del Cielo strewn field is a real crater > - 0.04 km dia with a raised rim. - see Passc Website. > > Ted Bunch > > > On 10/26/09 1:48 PM, "Jason Utas" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Yo, >> Sikhote-Alin, the largest crater at 26m in diameter. >> Only two meteorites are ever known to have created real craters upon >> falling; Carancas and Sikhote-Alin. >> Carancas' crater measures in at 13m. >> I suppose falls like Gao could have been larger in mass than Caracas, >> but I don't know if we even have a good estimate of the mass of >> Carancas, so perhaps someone more knowledgeable about the event could >> comment; the reports I could find online conflicted drastically. >> Regards, >> Jason >> >> On Mon, Oct 26, 2009 at 1:32 PM, Greg Stanley <[email protected]> >> wrote: >>> >>> All: >>> What is the Largest "Fall" known, and what was the size of the crater made? >>> >>> Greg S. >>> >>> _________________________________________________________________ >>> Windows 7: It works the way you want.
