Yeah but now that poor visitor center is ruined. People went there to see the vast open desert, not some hole made by space garbage! I hope the government can bail them out
I don’t know when that crater happened but not far from it is the petrified forest. Which if you don’t know is from trees falling into swamp water/mud and basically becoming rock. So at one point that area was a jungle/swamp as well.
Yeah I was aware, just haven’t looked into into the local prehistoric environments of Arizona once the interior seaway ceased then there’s a gap until the last epoch give or take. Fun fact the original spreader species for avocados was a species of giant ground sloth.
Anyways it was just idle wondering from me, I find the history of local environmental conditions interesting. For example densely forested Crete or Scotland during early historical accounts but not within any modern periods.

Okay jokes aside was it even desert when the impact happened? Like I know of an impact in Germany that happened so long ago that Germany was a jungle.

Quick, somebody start a gofundme to get that rock launched back into space where it belongs!
Please send any sand you can spare to the visitor center. Together we can fill that hole
