This link from the Milford Lodge has enough geology for me as a non-geologist. This other site from http://www.fergusmurraysculpture.com has more.
Contest #572:
As always, the first person to post the position and whatever is interesting about the geology/hydrology/geowhatever in this location, wins the privilege of hosting the next WoGE.
Previous WoGEs are collected by Felix on his blog and a KML file.
No Schott rule for this contest.

ReplyDeleteHenbury crater field, Australia
This is one of those WoGEs where a GE search is mostly useless, but identifying what it is (or guessing) and then doing a search for that kind of thing leads to quick results. In this case I found http://www.somerikko.net/impacts/database.php?id=69 which says "Meteorite Henbury (Om IIIAB iron). Age of 0.001 Myr has been offered. Meteorite was found 1931. There is 13-14 craters. The main crater is obviously formed by two impacting bodies. Among the aporiginals there is legend of fiery explosion. Aporiginal name for the place is Chindu chinna waru chingi yaku which means Sun walk fire devil rock. So, there is a possibility that this was a vitnessed impact.
Craters are protected today as a Henbury Meteorites Conservation Reserve and collecting meteorite fragments or impactite rocks in the area is illegal."
Ole... you are correct. It was zoomed in closely to show the detail of the geological feature.
