Hello again,

"Does anyone out there know of a journal article where the 80 degree angle is
 discussed, with the rationale behind proposing this value for the trajectory angle?"

D.J. Roddy and E.M. Shoemaker (1995) Meteor Crater: Summary
of impact conditions (Meteoritics 30-5, 1995, A567, excerpts):

"Since the late 1950s, studies of this crater have presented an increasingly
clearer view of this impact and its effects and have provided an improved
view of impact cratering in general. To expand on this dataset, we are
preparing an upgraded summary on the Meteor Crater event ... including
inormation and interpretations on (1)...(2)...(3) estimated speed, trajectory,
angle of impact, ... the trajectory of the impacting body is interpreted by
EMS (= E.M. Shoemaker) as traveling north-northwest at a relatively
low impact angle..."

I don't know whether E.M. Shoemaker still had time enough to publish
this "upgraded summary" before his tragic accident in Australia.

 
Best Sunday
wishes to all,

Bernd
