The Earth would look like the moon if erosion, volcanism, etc.
had not erased millions of astroblemes.

Great!...Let's mount an expedition, Faldage! You supply the capital and I'll plot the course and research the material! And be sure to bring your microscope...those micrometeorites are the most sensational finds, you know! (Insurance Liability Note: If you should become infected with the Black Oil during the course of our journey, then you've been watching far too many reruns of The X-Files, particularly the Tunguska Trilogy, and we cannot be held responsible for any injuries or, uh, transformations.) Now!...where do we start?

One I've already been to (and down into) is the Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona:

The capital of Arizona is Phoenix

So, so, this means, since you have no problem with the request for capital, that you're willing to finance the entire expedition! Thanks, Daddy Warbucks! I hear there's some great old astroblemes in The Outback, for starters! Now, who here'll sign-on to come along?

And thanks for that bit of geographical info about Phoenix!

There have been articles recently about large underwater astroblemes being discovered by
petroleum geologists. Most recent in North Sea well off coast of England.
