2010.03.26 Friday

This morning, 10 AM during the weekly meeting of the Friday
Morning Group at Saint Johns College coffee shop
in Santa Fe, NM,
I again ran into this puzzling, remarkable crater.

The vision jelled that this may be the site of a huge
tornado-hurricane flow formation, rotating counterclockwise,
for long enough in this spot to leave spiral ridges around the
inner more flat center, surrounded by concentric ridges from
high pressure and heat gas flows that would have carried the
heat along with shattered, melted, and vaporized minerals up
above the stratosphere.

The wider grey and white areas to the N, NNE, E, and SE
may mark the movement of the vortex as it started to form
and contract.

Like tornados, such a vortex may jump around, ablating the
landscape into circular forms.

The evidence can be surveyed to assess the range of sizes and
lifetimes of such firestorm vortexes.

"The furthest south I have found quartz with planar
microstructures is in Big Bend National Park in far west Texas.
There also is a structure there called the Solitario, the formation
of which looks like an impact structure, but researchers have not
been able to convince the experts that the planar microstructures
found there are definitive.

I believe more work should be done on this crater before it is
completely condemned as an impact structure.
The problem being that the only sedimentary rock with quartz is
some one thousand meters below the present surface the
Cretaceous and Tertiary sediments would have to be added,
and the shock wave attenuated and lost enough energy traveling
through the target rock to shock the quartz in this formation with
enough energy to generate planar deformation structures.

Dear Murray,

I am organizing and constructing a new page with the information
of my research on palaeolagoons.
I'll  update the page frequently -- it's under construction.

thanks for your attention,

rich:

you were right ! If you select just the highlighted text , it works,
if you double
click , like most hyperlink, then it select all the text, and goes no where!
