RE: Buying a house because of the rocks: Living on the crater rim

in #geology7 years ago

Beautiful place rich in geological history. I'd have a field day metal detecting for treasures around that place. Is there still fragments of the meteor left around or has it weathered away into nothing?

Sort:  

The meteor itself went straight through the earth's crust. If there were pieces, they must be long gone

Hard to even fathom that type of destruction. Congrats on getting the place b.t.w.

The meteorite strike was a major catastrophe. If something like this happened again, it would cause global extinction.
Thank you, it was hell on wheels to get the place but it's been worth it
