Hope no one minds, but I felt we have to have a new topic, right from the start, as a compendium of all the Factual Observations on this incredible structure...this Mother Ship from another world...this...(who said Burgess Shale? I laughed at that at the time. blink.gif ) Who will start us off with a detailed description of what we see before us TODAY February 5, 2006 - Super Sunday.
(I'll be running from game to Exploratorium all afternoon! biggrin.gif

The last pictures show so many layers in the Plate - that wasn't an impact event, was it.
If it was not a single event that caused the layers then I would think Home Plate is the rest of a filled crater as "the other" Doug has mentioned earlier - or maybe a filled little extinct volcano. That scenario would open a very big book of ancient time - like a tree trunk.
