Hello Bernd, John and list,

The craters field is 5 000 sq km ie
50 km times 100 km
or 30 miles times 66 miles. approx.

They are not so far from the BP and Oasis structure ( are those 2 stuctures
contemporaneous ?) which are South South West of the Libyan Glass
Strewnfield.

The larger crater is 950 m a dimension more in the Meteor Crater range (
1350 m) than in the Sikhote Alin range ( bigger 23 m) .

One theory today is that these newly discovered craters are NOT from the
same Fall, but that the plateau on which they have been discovered is very
old. Nevertheless. A new field expedition in December will bring back more
infos.

My 2 cents

Michel
