Hi,

    In all fairness, I should point out that Johnny
stops using commas in his list after the first item,
so he probably meant: "impactite, tekti[t]e[s], shatter
cones, shocked quartz, and comet fragments" as
the elements in his list. The pond looks to me to
be no more than 1500 feet across, but I could be
off by a factor of two if the trees are bigger. The
wrinkles could be wind wrinkles or frost heave.
It's got to be the least promising site I've seen
in a while.

Digging through Google for mentions of the "Tonko Astrobleme" answers the
question posed earlier as to wherther or not Tonko had heard of shatter
cones
(or at least "tektie shatter cones"). From a googlecache entry from your
former
forum:

http://72.14.209.104/search?q=cache:0elXYxFNLR4J:www.meteoriteimpact.invisionzone.com/index.php%3Fshowtopic%3D334%26view%3Dgetlastpost+tonko+astrobleme&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=4

John:

The Tonko Astrobleme is located in the western US. The exact coordinates are
currently being witheld from public disclosure until my ongoing research is
completed. This is due to the high potential for illegal and unauthorized
collecting of the high value specimens of impactite, tektie shatter cones
shocked quartz and comet fragments that are scattered around the crater. The
size rivals the Barringer structure and age is 2025 (+/- 25) years.

Sincerely,

Johnny Tonko
