(meteorobs) Chesapeake Bay Bolide



Hi Everyone,

While looking for other info at the U.S.G.S web site, I ran across a fact
sheet about a bolide impact in the Chesapeake Bay area some 35 million
years ago.  The site is http://marine.usgsdot gov/fact-sheets/fs49-98. It can
be reached from the usgs home page.  There is also a link to the original
paper on the subject, http://woodshole.er.usgsdot gov/epubs/bolide.

I have not viewed the Woods Hole site in its entirety, but the USGS fact
sheet offers a summary of the very long-lasting effects of an event which
took place 35 million years ago.  For those who might be interested, it is
worth a visit.

Keep looking up (but wear a hard hat).

Clear skies,
