Odessa Meteor Crater - Odessa, Texas - Impact Craters on Waymarking.com

Not as big as the one near Flagstaff, AZ. The Odessa Meteor Crater, second largest in the United States and sixth in the world, was formed some 20,000 years ago when an iron meteorite believed to weigh 1,000 tons crashed into the earth near this site. Impact was so great that 4.3 million cubic feet of rock was expelled or shifted, forming a cone-shaped crater 500 feet wide and nearly 100 feet deep.

Type of Crater: Simple Crater Diameter: 500 Feet Age of Crater: 20,000.00 Crater Web Page: [Web Link] View from the Coordinates: Not much of the hole. You really need to go further than where I took my picture.
