Album 1 - Dig Site & Maps

Three small areas dug within the impact structure (photo 1). Impact structure's rim on which the magnetic and shatter rocks were first seen on the
surface is shown in photos 2 and 3. Approximately 6 inches down is a black soot line where fragmented pebbles and rocks are covered in soot.
Fractured and shocked rocks found amongst the magnetic rocks and melt materials are seen in the 3rd photo. Trying for point of impact in this
structure and hoping that the charcoal shown just above the lighter color till (photo 4) will lead right to it. This hole is on the side of a small rise
about or close to the center of the circular structure (red arrow in aerial map photo above).

Practicing aerial photo map overkill with elevation set to zero for less likelihood of distortion. Directly in the center
of maps 1 & 2 is the mountain with the impact structures. Possible portion of impact structure rim is seen on hill
directly across from the mountain. Map 3 is a tilt, an option in the World Wind map software, that shows numerous
impact structures on the bench and further out in a Northwest direction. Map 5, the northeast view, shows the
entire left side of the mountain (center) with a butterfly-shaped scaring. Scaring extends to the hill across the
gorge (map 7). Other maps are close-ups of the area showing small round structures, which, are more evident on
the maps as oppose to when one standing in the area. Map 4 - top of mountain with possible impacts and large
walled-in shatter cone.

Close-up on area being worked and where the materials were found.

Area of bench on which cometary materials including magnetic rocks, glasses, quartz, shatter cones, graphite, fragmented rocks were found.

Area being worked and find location on map close-up.

Red diamond is the spot where the rocks and related materials were first seen. Small circular structure seen in front of red arrow.

Slightly left of point of impact for this circle: 1st test hole of 3 that showed a lot of charcoal just below the soot line in lighter color soil. The soil here is rather colorful.

Cometary impact materials removed found at three test areas within one circular structure seen on the aerial photo.

Fragmented rocks and shatter cones on top of large boulders located on the rim of the circular impact structure.

The fractured rocks are packed tightly and are relatively the same size found in the other two dig areas. Magnetic and melt related components are
finely shattered. Shatter cones of various sedimentary lithology are more recognizable and points to the right.

Photo 5 is the point of impact where all shatter cones pointed downwards and charcoal pointed further down into the ground. Shatter cones (all small
fractured and angular pebbles) in the multicolor soil point upwards. Of the three dig areas, this is the first in which charcoal was encounter in the
lighter multicolor soil and where transparent glass was found in the darker soil. I excavated approximately one-half of the up-rise point of impact. I
saw no reason to delve further as I had, by this time, all the materials required to meet textbook criteria for proof of impact.
