[meteorite-list] Re:New Impact Crater

[JKGwilliam]

Thanks for the link Chuck.  I took some time and looked through the data 
base and found no mention of a "Tonko Astrobleme."  This seems odd to me 
since the finder of the supposed comet crater , Johnny Tonko, made the 
following statement on a gold prospector and meteorite forum 
(NuggentShooter Forum):

"There is no separate write up on the crater other than the documentaion 
naming it Tonko Astrobleme to honor me as the discoverer."

It seems to me that if the crater mentioned here was named to honor Johnny 
Tonko, there should be some documentation available on the internet.  After 
all, if the USGS or some other governmental agency didn't name the crater, 
who did?

Best,
JKG
