[meteorite-list] Tunguska Blast a water rich comet: Holocene age clusters of similar craters in New Mexico, east of Las Vegas and southeast of Estancia: Rich Murray 2009.06.25

Re: [meteorite-list]Tunguska Blast a water rich comet: clusters of similar 
craters, very like Carolina Bays, in New Mexico, east of Las Vegas and 
southeast of Estancia: Rich Murray 2009.06.25

About 8 miles SE of Las Vegas, NM, via Google Maps and Google Earth, note 
McAllister Lake, Crane Lake, and others with white deposits, by road 201, S 
of SR 104, part of a Federal bird park.

Also, 20 miles E along State Road 104, then NE 1 mile on CR C 53A, to note a 
NS crater about a mile long, with a about 100 m shallow white rock road 
quarry at the S end right at the N edge of the road, with no fences or 
livestock or No Trespassing signs -- it is easy to walk along the west edge 
on the red sandstone bedrock and find that the layers are progressively 
cracked and blasted over as refrigerator size chunks, with apparent dark 
high temperature glazing, beside the shallow central depression.  There are 
rocks and chunks of the red sandstone up to 1 m size lying about in the 
fields for miles, as well as many more similar features in the area.

SE of Albuquerque, just SE of Estancia, mostly N of 60 and the railroad, and 
crossing it, is a NS cluster of shallow craters with white minerals,
Laguna Del Perro, and similar craters within 10-20 miles, long interpreted 
as late Pleistocene wind erosion features -- intermittent playa lakes.

These features seem very similar to the million or so Carolina Bays, from 
Maryland to Louisiana, for which a recent paper by experts claims evidence 
to be from a huge ice dominant comet that fragmented high over Southern 
Canada in 12,900 BP, causing the demise of Clovis culture and of large 
mammels.

I would like help in getting my rock samples from New Mexico features 
analyzed.
