Crater

Charles O'Dale is a dedicated geologist and explorer focused on documenting impact craters across the planet, with a particular emphasis on the Middlesboro Impact Crater in Kentucky. This unique geological feature, located in the southern Appalachian Mountains, spans approximately 6 kilometers in diameter and showcases significant evidence of meteor impact through its distinct topography and deformed rock structures.

The Middlesboro Basin, characterized by its circular depression and rugged hillsides, offers valuable insight into the effects of ancient meteor impacts on geological formations. O'Dale's research highlights the central uplift of the crater, providing crucial understanding of shock metamorphic events in sedimentary targets and the processes that govern the formation of complex craters.
