fractal clusters of shallow rimless craters on lava plateaus -- result of ice comet fragment air and surface bursts? very common in Great Basin from Oregon to California: Rich Murray 2011.07.10
I readily found much more in 3 hours with Google Earth and Maps -- here are just two clusters -- may be evidence for fractal clusters of air and surface bursts of many ice comet fragments from typical gradual disruption of a parent comet in solar orbit. 41.661806 -119.086891 2.014 km el, a shallow rimless crater, .6X.4 km, 16 m lower than 2.030 km plateau to S -- seems to be a lava surface, with a number of similar craters. fractal field of impacts on lava plateau, one crater, about .6 km wide NW-SE 43.363764 -120.186009 1.443 km el low, 23 m lower than 1.666 km edge to NE, white and dark minerals on bottom, N and E inner rim is darker. The region is very interesting... ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
