impacts and ancient ...":

Hello to All

Yes, the region in Africa is fantastic -- excellent scenery for a science 
fiction movie.
Volcanic areas, estuaries, karst, doline, morin, marshes ... these areas are 
ungrateful to crater hunters.
Anyway, meteors of any size can hit any place on Earth from the distant past 
or recent past.
Apparently the end of the Pleistocene appears to be related to increased 
heat in the atmosphere, destabilizing global climate, caused by meteoritic 
impacts, and starting a new order of climate, the Holocene.
Geologically recent -- I've been focusing my research on this period.
The shallow, elliptical and aligned scars are possibly associated with the 
cyclical impact of meteoroids originating from a prehistoric fragmented 
comet. These elliptical craters can be found anywhere.
Field studies and geological surveys are key in finding the first clues!

See a possible example below:

[ quick notes by Rich Murray ]

His impact-craters site has remarkable Google Earth and on the ground views 
of many shallow oval craters:

http://maps.google.com.br/maps?hl=pt-BR&ie=UTF8&ll=-9.079934,-42.626299&spn=0.006759,0.009602&t=h&z=17

"The Capivara 0001 palaeolagoon where (2009) some siliceous clasts rocks, 
possible impactites, were found.

Silliceous clasts rocks found on palaeolagoon Capivara 0001and Capivara 
0004, possible impactites, in Sao Raimundo Nonato, Piaui (2009), Brazil.

The Quari palaelagoon, in Sao Raimundo Nonato south town, where (2004) a 
layer of silliceous clasts rocks were found on the bottom layer of the lake, 
at about 12,900 BP old sediment over a crystalline base rock, points to its 
End-Pleistocene genesis."

I've found many similar porous, white, foamy rocks at shallow craters in New 
Mexico.

"Pyroclastic deposits

Mafic and silicic pyroclastic deposits are distributed across much of 
Ascension Island.
Most of Green Mountain is composed of pyroclastic deposits, both scoria and 
pumice, and many of the lava flows in the western part of the island have a 
thin pyroclastic veneer.
There have clearly been some very violent explosive silicic eruptions on 
Ascension.

Many of the pyroclastic deposits show evidence of having been reworked by 
water, suggesting that Ascension's climate was substantially wetter in the 
past.
For example, Darwin recognized that the pyroclastic deposits which fill the 
central depression in Devil's Riding School were deposited in a lake."

Comparitive composition of volcanic rocks from Ascension, St. Helena, and 
Tristan

[ Precision elemental and isotopic studies were used. ]

"So not only are the sources for Ascension, St. Helena, and Tristan magmas 
separate and distinct from each other, they also are separate and distinct 
from the upper mantle that is the source for mid-ocean ridge basalt magmas."
