Odessa Meteorite Discovered Near Odessa Texas
A joint University of Texas and WPA field crew located the Odessa meteorite at 164 feet deep near a 600-foot wide crater ten miles west of Odessa. A 1500 pound drill bit struck solid bottom securing the top of the object and plans aim to expose the edge of the crater with tunnels and additional shafts. Magnetic surveys had previously fixed the general site and suggested the body lay between 100 and 170 feet deep.
