The crater is believed to be associated with the largest extinction event in Earth's history about 250 million years ago. The researchers will report their findings and reveal the site of the crater at 2 p.m. EDT, Thursday, May 13, 2004, during a press teleconference. Panelists are: -- Luann Becker, geologist, University of California, Santa Barbara, Calif. -- Robert Poreda, geochemist, University of Rochester, N.Y. -- Kevin Pope, geologist, Geo Eco Arc Research, Aquasco, Md. -- Douglas H. Erwin, Senior Paleobiologist, National Museum of Natural History, Washington -- Michael New, astrobiology discipline scientist, NASA Headquarters, Washington; panel moderator Reporters may call in to the press conference to hear the presentation and participate in the question-and-answer session, while following the presentations on a Web site.
