Graham and List,

Thank you for some encouragement. Yes...it is the even diameter of the raised rim and the fact that there are definitely two concentric rings.

I plan to make a day collection trip to the site within ten days. If any geologically experienced parties are interested in joining me, please contact off list. There would be the opportunity to hunt meteorites on good ground on the way there and back. The suspect site is just under three hours from Las Vegas, Nevada. Figure a 12 to 14 hour day.
