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

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.

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.

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
