[meteorite-list] Libyan (looks like a) crater

[Randy Korotev]

List:

Thanks for all the comments.  The finder, an Italian gephysicist, 
sent me a figure that allows me to say that the feature is probably 
within a kilometer of the center of this map:

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Tazirbu,+Libya&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&hl=en&cd=1&geocode=FS56iAEdLQlAAQ&split=0&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=23.875,57.630033&hq=&hnear=Tazirbu,+Libya&ll=25.788299,21.77207&spn=0.059198,0.074673&t=h&z=14

It's along the Great Man-Made River project in Libya (a long way from 
the crater field in Egypt that Anne mentioned).

The finder also insists that it's not a bomb crater because there's 
no metal shrapnel.
