Excellent photo Astrobleme! It can definitely be seen with the angle of that photo. Is that one you took of the Colorado Gunnison Crater?

Hi Mrs. CP, Yes, that is an old photo I took and updated with the overlay that shows how the faulting occurs during a crater event. Here is a Google Earth view looking towards the city of Gunnison that shows the location of the faulted rock rim remnant. Also, to get a perspective on the crater size, here is the crater rim trace as seen from above. -------------------- Annual Dues Paying Member Since 2008
