[meteorite-list] meteorite-list] possible impact crater

[Gaetan Cormier]

Hello Stefan and all...

That's a pretty neat structure, altough I don't see it mentionned anywhere
in different databases that I know about impact structures.

It would be interesting to talk to a geologist in the Nicaragua region to
see if it has been studied yet! All we need to find is some shattercones
outcrops, impactites or shocked quartz and Bingo! we have a new astrobleme!
hehe ;)

Cheers!
