Combined with the scarps nearby, perhaps (and I know this was suggested for Wild 2) that cometary material is ejected from the scarps, eroding them back. Compared to the simulation animation shown often in the last few days, the impact ejecta is mostly traveling laterally away from the impact site. the animation showed ejecta going straight back. Alex Dessler, who watched the event with me, thought he noticed the formation of several rays during the impact -------------------- &@^^!% Jim! I'm a geologist, not a physicist!
