Abstract

The shatter cones found in the late 2000s in an area at least 3 km2 in extent 12 km northeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico, along with petrographic evidence of low shock-metamorphic levels indicate the presence of a so far unknown, deeply eroded impact structure that is between 300 Ma and 1 Ga in age and a minimum final crater diameter of ~6–13 km.
