Special Guest:
Dr. David Turner - The Crater Near Indian Point on Mahone Bay.

A recently(?) discovered impact site near Indian Point on Mahone Bay appears similar to the Whitecourt, Alberta astrobleme, but with much greater infilling. It also appears to bear a relationship to a few nearby features that may prove to be secondary impacts, as well as to the various impact structures located under the waters of Dalhousie Lake in the Annapolis Valley (see JRASC, 89, 111, 1995). If an impact origin is confirmed, the Indian Point site would be the only Nova Scotia astrobleme accessible without scuba gear!

David Turner is a retired Saint Mary's University astronomer whose early career took him to Sudbury, site of the Sudbury and Lake Wanapitei impact structures, hence his interest in meteor craters. Better known for his work on the chancel ceiling stars at St. John's Church, Lunenburg, he also taught courses in planetary astronomy during his career, got asteroid 6898 named after Saint Mary's University during its 2002 bicentennial celebrations, and initiated the meteorite collection at Saint Mary's.
