Shoemaker Center for Astrogeology Grand Opening

Barringer Crater Geology Field Trip

09/27/2002 - As part of the Dedication Ceremony for the new building, some of the Flagstaff Field Center staff and guests went on a field trip to Meteor (Barringer) Crater. The group began their tour at the visitor center with an introduction by Meteor Crater staff and a tour of the museum. The group visited several outcrops around the museum before beginning their trek along the eastern rim to the south side. After lunch some of the group descended into the crater interior to take a closer look. For more information about Meteor Crater, visit the Meteor Crater Offical Web Site.
