Hello Chares Porter,

Probably a typical shallow crater from atomic bomb energy level air
burst of 35 km/sec ice fragment coming in at about 30 degrees angle
from Taurid complex comet fragment swarm in 3.5 year solar orbit 13 Ka
years ago -- Dennis Cox has hundreds of such images from Google Earth,
mainly West Texas to New Mexico -- at a few of them in Vaughn, NM, I
found in 2011 characteristic sharp broken fragments with surface
glazes and melts -- many more around Santa Fe, NM.

Rich,

I was using Google Earth and was browsing along SR 208 to the SE of
Colorado City TX and happened to see a feature at:

32° 15' 09.90" N  100° 48' 04.09" W

Do you have any idea as to what might have caused it?
I do know that the outcropping beds are Triassic.
