[meteorite-list] Re:New Impact Crater

[Sterling K. Webb]

JKG,

    Think there's little doubt Johnny Tonko named
the Tonko Astrobleme to honor Johnny Tonko.

    If pressed, I'm sure he could come up with
a website by Johnny Tonko naming the Tonko
Astrobleme in honor of Johnny Tonko.

    The "astrobleme" is a small pond surrounded
by conifers in a cold but arid region. The trees are
restricted to the water source; the ground shows the
characteristic wrinkle of frozen taiga -- at least, that's
how I read the image he provided. One supposes
the proof of cometary origin is that the pond is
filled with rare cometary material... WATER.
