| Description |
English: The Odessa Impact Crater formed when an iron meteorite hit the western Texas plains during the Late Pleistocene, about 64,000 years ago. The impact site is 9-10 miles southwest of the town of Odessa, Texas. The main crater is somewhat subtle as seen from the ground. A smaller, secondary crater is nearby. Fragments of Odessa Meteorite have been collected from the surrounding fields for decades.
Info. from signage: ODESSA METEOR CRATER Main Crater You are now entering the main crater, formed by the explosive impact of tons of meteoric material from outer space. This crater is the entire depression you see before you, being almost 600’ in diameter. Originally 100’ deep, it is filled with sand and dirt to within 6’ of the surrounding plain. Locality: Odessa Impact Structure, Ector County, western Texas, USA |
