Talk:Woodleigh impact structure

Capitalisation

Shouldn't this be 'Woodleigh Crater,' being a proper noun place name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spamguy (talk • contribs) 06:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't have a gazetted name, so it is debatable whether "Woodleigh crater" is a proper noun place name or an improper noun descriptive of location. Hesperian 06:15, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Connection with Shark Bay

The geography of the crater suggests a relationship with Shark Bay, which could be the hotspot track resulting from the impact. For comparsion, another continental hotspot track extends from NE California to NW Wyoming and was made by the Yellowstone hotspot. Contrary to prevailing geological doctrines, it was recently shown that the Yellowstone magma reservoir is at shallow depth of a few hundred km, not the result of a "mantle plume" rising from the core. An impact crater can be found in the Modoc plateau, NE California. A crater ("caldera") was identified there by a Colorado School of Mines PhD thesis based on gravity anomalies. The formation is clearly visible on Google maps in the terrain option, which is a recent Google map feature. This is a nearly circular crater with a central uplift possibly multi-ring, located NW of popular tourist spot McArthur-Burney Falls State Park on HWY 89. The exact size is uncertain, because the region was disturbed by later orogeny. The age of the hotspot track is 15 M years with over 140 major caldera eruptions as was shown by Univ of Utah geologists. As for Shark Bay, the greater part of the hotspot track is lost in the Ocean or may be located on another continent (India?) after break-up of earlier supercontinents. hgwb (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 20:15, 26 October 2008 (UTC).

Add Crater Infobox?

Someone may want to apply crater template {{Infobox crater | crater_name = {{SUBST:PAGENAME}} | image_crater = | alt_crater = | caption_crater = | image_bathymetry = | alt_bathymetry = | caption_bathymetry = | location = | coords = {{coord|89|59|59|N|179|59|59|W|region:ZZ_type:waterbody|display =inline,title}} | type = | basin_countries = | length = | width = | area = | depth = | max-depth = | volume = | rim = | elevation = | cities = | reference = }}
