		The Barringer Meteorite Crater (also known as "Meteor Crater") is a gigantic hole in the middle of the arid sandstone of the Arizona desert.
		Barringer, however, had experimented by firing rifle bullets into rocks and mud, and had discovered that a projectile arriving at an oblique angle would nevertheless make a round hole.
		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.

	Barringer Meteorite Crater * Meteorites Craters and Impacts
		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".
		Go To the Barringer Site In a casual conversation with his friend Samuel J. Holsinger in 1902, Barringer became aware of the existence of the crater and the meteoritic irons associated with it, and of the local theory that it had been created by an iron body falling out of space.
		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.

		Moreover, Barringer noticed that instead of defined strata (layers) there was a randomized mixture of the fragments and ejecta (native rock presumable thrown out of the crater at the time of impact).
		Barringer and his 12-year-old son set out to experiment with the formation of such craters by firing bullets into clumps of rock and mud.
		Regardless of the firing angle, the Barringers demonstrated (and published their results in both popular and scientific magazines) that the resulting craters were substantially round.

		Barringer Crater, also known as Meteor Crater, is a famous impact crater created by 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 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.

		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.

	Pitt professor honored for his contributions to meteorite studies
		Given in recognition of outstanding research on meteorite craters, the Barringer award is named for the mining engineer who first convincingly identified meteorite craters in Arizona in the early 1900s.
		Cassidy says it took so long for his work to be recognized by the Meteoritical Society because the Barringer award was created only five years ago and there is a big backlog of scientists whose work in the field deserves to be honored.
		Even though the Barringer award honors Cassidy's work in Argentina, Cassidy himself believes "my possibly more important work has been with Antarctic meteorites." Since 1976, when he was given his first research grant by the National Science Foundation, Cassidy's meteorite studies have focused on Antarctica.
