Default Bedout Ejecta Impacts

Using Terraserver I think that I have found impact scars created by
ejecta thrown from the Bedout crater near Pangean Australia. I have
uploaded files describing the impacts and their locations on the Yahoo
Groups sites Fallingstars and Meteorobs. The file is in the "Files"
folder of each of these sites.

Most of the impacts were in Permian seas and left teardrop shaped
scars. In several cases there are nested teardrops. One of the best
ones is located few miles northeast of Jayton, Texas. This teardrop
is pointed opposite to all other teardrops that I found; the ejecta
fragment evidently traveled the long way around the globe before
impacting near Jayton.

Another beautiful double teardrop is located a few miles northwest of
Toyah, Texas. This impact occurred in the ancient Delaware Sea at the
end of the Guadalupian, and it was immediately covered and preserved
by Ochoan evaporites.

I hope that you all enjoy using Terraserver to discover more of these
impacts.
