l weightof fall unknown; six tonspreserved in collections lies in the center of the meteorite field.This crater is quite large being 4150 feetin diameter and 570 feet deep. It is sur-rounded by a parapet 150 feet in heightcomposed of rock debris thrown out ofthe crater. The crater has been studiedat various times from different stand-points and the present general consensusof opinion is that it was formed by theimpact of a great meteor or comet withthe earth some 50,000 years ago, andthat immediately following the impactthere was a tremendous explosion whichnot only scattered the meteorites and rockdebris over the surrounding plain, butgouged out the crater pit and greatly dis-turbed the normal disposition of the thicklimestone and sandstone beds in the mar-gins of the crater.
