"Can a meteorite impact crater survive a passage to earth" Please forgive a
newby's opinion, but I believe it seems logically possible. The shape of
the meteorite could create an air/heat flow that might provide a protected
cavity or boundry that could keep it out of melt flow. Or, it could be
possible that the speed of the particular meteorite would be slower than
some others...resulting in less heat generated in its passage to earth.
