[meteorite-list] AD* new Africa impact crater page and a new? crater?

[drtanuki]

Hi Jason,
  Thank you for your checking.  Unfortunately, at 4am in the morning when I finished the page and added the last entry somehow the wrong coordinates were entered.

The webpage has been corrected to reflect the correct coordinates:

21°21'34.57 N, 17° 01' 33.66 W

  The diameter is about 35m  and is in a not-so-friendly part of the world.

Dirk Ross...Tokyo
