The West australian Geological survey has renamed the Teague ring , as
the Shoemaker impact structure, in honour of the astro-geologist Gene Shoemaker.
This crater is some 30Km across about 100km North East of the small town of
Wiluna, West Australia. Gene & Carolyn did field work on the structure in 1985
and 1995. They had planned to visit it again on there 1997 visit to Australia,
but these plans were of course cancelled by the road accident in which Gene
died.
