Metrorite crater discovered in French winery


Recommended Posts

https://aktuelles.uni-frankfurt.de/english/research/meteorite-crater-discovered-in-french-winery/?fbclid=IwAR2nC826rmSu2EPKrPHKBmbpD-j1UuES4yXBQRlM9qrHhTSRPOAZ122I Should have bought several caes of this wine back when I first heard that they were selling it. That would have been a good investment.

This article doesn't mention an estimated age for the crater, but the surrounding area might be a good place to swing a detector.

I checked it out on GE, but I was'nt able to identify the actual crater. Not knowing when,,, (how long ago)...the photo in that article was taken,or how 

old the GE imagry is, can make it difficult, Here's an overhead photo...don't know when this was taken either.

I presume the one labeled 'Le Meteore' is from the grapes grown in the crater.

After going through their website more thoroughly, I see that they also have a wine labled 'Le Cratere', also from the grapes in the crater I guess.

They also offer wines named after certain meteor showers, and if you click on 'The Meteor'... more pics of the crater.

I found it...(DUH)...I should have followed your directions more precisely the first time. :grr01:
