The Odessa Meteor Craters are located in West Texas (U.S.A.). The site is approximately five miles southwest of the town of Odessa, Texas in Ector County. The locale consists of five impact craters with the largest being approximately 550 feet in diameter and 103 feet deep. The impact event is viewed by uniformitarian scientists as having occurred between 10 to 50 thousand years ago. At the largest crater, the meteor penetrated Cretaceous-age limestone and underlying clastics creating a raised rim of considerable relief. In the intervening time erosion has removed much of the elevated rim and nearly filled the cra ter with sediments. The eroded nature of each of the impact craters suggests that they formed near the end of the Flood Event Timeframe while Floodwater was still slowly withdrawing from the North American continent. Fossils of Ice Age megafauna found within some of the craters suggests that they may have provided a source of drinking water. However, once the creatures entered the depressions some could not escape and they perished. Today, only the largest crater retains any visible expression of its catastrophic origin as the smaller craters have been filled with sediments.
