  Haughton Crater | NASA Haughton-Mars Project
The Haughton meteorite impact crater, on Devon Island, Nunavut, in the Canadian high arctic, is 20 km in diameter and formed 23 million years ago.
However, particularly distinctive at Haughton is the crater's allochthonous impact breccia formation, a rubble deposit resulting from the launching, airborne mixing, fallback and weak rewelding of impact-shattered fragments derived from the entire stack of excavated rocks.
Mason eventually revisits Haughton and finds shatter cones (fractured rocks presenting cone-shaped patterns of fracture diagnostic of impact shock), and with F. Blyth Robertson of the Geological Survey of Canada, formally confirms the nature of Haughton as an impact structure.

 USGS Professional Paper 1612   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Chesapeake Bay impact crater is a 56-mile wide, complex peak-ring crater with an inner and outer rim, a relatively flat-floored annular trough, and an inner basin that penetrates the basement to a depth of at least 1.2 miles.
The crater's structural depression and subsequent structural adjustments since burial have controlled post-impact environmental depositional settings and stratigraphic relations within and among formations and are responsible for the higher subsidence rates in and adjacent to the crater.
The transient crater is defined as the crater's maximum radial shape before gravitational collapse and includes material that is ejected (approximately one-third of the crater volume based on crater mechanics studies) and displaced basement rock (approximately two-thirds of the crater volume; Melosh, 1989).

The next illustration (figure 3) shows the same area as presented on the USGS 1:62500 sheet Crater Lake National Park and Vicinity, Oreg., published in 1956 but based on the same survey as was the 1911 map and augmented by work in 1933.
The vegetative cover associated with the stream banks is the same as that found away from the streams, and thus there is no consistent tone or color distinction to be made between the near-stream vegetation and the surrounding vegetation that might hint at the presence of a stream.
The lack of a previous connection between Lost and Mason's creeks seems surprising, given that the two come within approximately 50 meters of one another at their point of closest approach.

 Seed: Crater Could be Linked to "Great Dying"
Before stumbling onto the crater itself, von Frese discovered a well-known geological structure that typically indicates an area struck by a massive impact--—a "mascon" or mass concentration.
Since the PT crater is buried under a mile-thick layer of ice, and the mascon is buried even farther—, under the crust of the Earth—, all of the research team's observations are relatively indirect.
Crater Could be Linked to "Great Dying", written by Bryan Wolin, posted on June 27, 2006 12:45 AM, is in the category Evolution.

 Page About Masonry, News & Notes: Mother Kilwinning Lodge No. 0
Now the guild of masons (or builders) differed from all the others: whereas, for example, the flsmith would ply his trade in his own town, the mason frequently had to travel long distances, even to the other end of the country, to engage in his work.
Arrived at his destination, the mason had to prove to his employer that he was a mason and, he also had to prove how proficient he was, i.e., he had to prove his rank in the guild from which he came.
A party of these foreign masons is supposed to have come from Italy for the purpose of building the Monastery of Kilwinning and to have founded there the first regularly constituted Lodge in Scotland.

 The Manson Impact Structure: A Late Cretaceous Meteor Crater in the Iowa Subsurface
The Manson Impact Structure: A Late Cretaceous Meteor Crater in the Iowa Subsurface
The area of north-central Iowa around the town of Manson (about 80 miles northwest of Des Moines) has been known as a region of anomalous geology since the early part of the century, when samples collected during the drilling of a Manson town water well proved to be unlike other rocks in the area.
In the late 1980s the Manson Impact Structure was linked to one of the Earth's greatest extinctions of life (including dinosaurs) at the end of a period of geologic time called the Cretaceous (about 65 million years ago).
