    Very interesting. I wonder if that set off the chain of events that lead to the Permian Extinction.

    I believe Australia is the fastest moving tectonic plate in the Pacific and possibly on Earth. I wonder if this asteroid was the motive force?

    Db made us go to the one in AZ like 5 times. The last time I think I stayed in the car and took a nap. I'm thinking it would be difficult to enjoy the experience of one that was 250 x that. Maybe Google Earth? The one in AZ has a nice visitors center and slick movie to watch. But once is enough. Do you hear that db?
