	Barringer Crater (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Barringer Crater, also known as Meteor Crater, is a famous impact crater of a meteorite, located in the northern Arizona desert, United States.
		Some geologists believed it was a volcanic crater, but in 1905 a mining engineer and businessman named Daniel Moreau Barringer suggested it was the result of the impact of a large iron-metallic meteorite.
		Barringer spent 27 years trying to mine the crater and find metallic iron, which he believed to have been left by the meteorite.

		The Barringer Meteorite Crater (also known as "Meteor Crater") is a gigantic hole in the middle of the arid sandstone of the Arizona desert.
		In 1923, Barringer's 12-year-old son Richard published an article in Popular Astronomy, using his father's rifle experiments to argue for the impact origin of the lunar craters; Barringer himself repeated the arguments a short time later in the Scientific American.
		Daniel Moreau Barringer's struggle to prove his theory about the impact origin of the crater is an example of the enormous difference that one determined individual can make - even if that individual is a non-scientist working to change the prevailing scientific view.

	Barringer, Daniel Moreau (1860-1929)
		When he learned that beads of iron were mixed in with the rocks of the crater’s rim, Barringer immediately concluded that the great pit had been blasted out by an iron meteorite, roughly as wide as the crater, that now lay buried under the crater floor.
		Barringer was wrong about the physics of hypervelocity cratering, and, after more than a quarter of a century of searching, his Meteor Crater Exploration and Mining Company ran out of money and shut down in 1929.
		However, Barringer had by then succeeded in convincing most of the scientific community that his impact theory was correct.

		Daniel Moreau Barringer, a Philadelphia mining engineer, was a man of immense vigor and intelligence, a charismatic, impatient and hot-tempered individual who enjoyed quoting his wife's description of him as "half gentleman and half savage".
		Barringer's outsider status, his forceful and opinionated personality, and his scornful dismissal of contrary opinions, could not have endeared him to the scientific establishment of his time.
		Barringer's attempts to convince the scientific community of the truth of his theory were, of course, intimately connected with his growing need to raise capital for continued drilling.

	Selling Yellowstone: Capitalism and the Construction of Nature
		Barringer recognizes the problem of monopoly control by private interests over the provision of services, but there is another side to the coin that he does not acknowledge.
		With very low access fees, the park suffered from a congestion externality, but the fact that the Northern Pacific Railway had an almost complete monopoly on transportation to the park and the YNPIC controlled most of the transportation and lodging within the park meant that they had strong incentives to internalize that externality.
		Barringer seems to think it necessary to make rather sweeping claims of exploitation and of "selling off the park." However, his analysis leads to the more modest conclusion that competing interest groups, both inside and outside of government, tried to gain control to further their own interests.

		Barringer's book contributes to the ongoing debate over the character and limits of the social construction of nature as it raises important questions about what our national parks represent, why so many people continue to feel so strongly about them, and what must be done to protect them.
		At this time, Barringer explains, the NPS and its concessionaires were faced with "molding a landscape with expectations impossible to fulfill" (162).
		Barringer's thesis is clearly that the NPS and its concessionaires presented their product to fit the perceptions of the natural setting prominent at the time.

		As the first person to identify the true origin of The Barringer Meteorite Crater (aka Meteor Crater) Daniel Moreau Barringer instilled a deep interest about the crater and its signficance to his sons.
		In the late 1980's Paul (and the Barringer family) was recognized with a special award by the Society for his contributions to meteoritics, especially the support of young students through travel stipends to attend Society meetings.

		When mining engineer Daniel Moreau Barringer first saw the crater in 1903, he not only suspected that it formed during a meteorite impact, he also believed he could unearth a huge meteorite mass and market its valuable metal content.
		Although Barringer's mining attempts failed-most of the meteorite had been destroyed on impact-his dedicated research on the crater laid a foundation for understanding impact cratering on Earth and other planets.
		When Barringer's drilling crews bored into the rock layers under and around the crater, they found convincing evidence that it could not have formed from a volcanic explosion, as some had suggested.

		In 1902 a mining engineer, Daniel Barringer, thought that the crater was formed by an enormous iron meteorite, which would have been buried below the surface.
		It is now accepted that the meteorite, travelling as such a velocity would have been totally disintegrated as a result of the combination of the processes of vaporisation, melting of the meteorite, and in the fragmentation upon impact with the ground.
		The Barringer Crater was one of the official centres by NASA for training Apollo astronauts.

		The site is privately owned by the descendants of Daniel Moreau Barringer, who came to the area in the early 1900s to mine the meteor's remnants, which he hoped would be rich in iron ore.
		Barringer was right about the crater's origins - but he didn't know the meteor vaporized during impact, and mined for over 25 years, discovering nothing.
		Barringer's family converted Meteor Crater into a tourist attraction in 1942, when the first visitors center was built, charging 25 cents for admission.
