35b is now about as sure crater as it can be and then map lacks latest found and oldest crater of Finland. (which don't have any crater bowl left, possibly just base of central peak area)
As interesting thing satellite photos show very clear circular structure where 88 is and there's town called Nickel because of big nickel mines.
(there's nickel ore and mines in Sudbury crater in Canada)
Now how many of those you can find?

You Know You're an Amateur Geologist When....
You brake for road cuts.
You ARE watching for rocks.
You consider road cuts tourist attractions.
You'll drive an hour out of the way just to see a road cut.
The first thing you notice is her jewelry or....
You expect collection site information with your jewelry.
Your spouse asks you to get your samples out of the kitchen.
You look at the stone facades of buildings with your hand lens.
You examine the individual rocks in your driveway gravel.
You don't think trilobites look like cockroaches.
The baggage handlers at airports know you on sight and refuse to help you with your luggage.
Pet rocks are a still a pretty neat idea.
You decide not to get married because you'd rather keep your rock collection.
You associate the word "hard" with a value on the Mohs scale.
You associate the word "saw" with diamond instead of "wood".
Your home page has images of rocks.
You follow when you see a university's geology class going on a field trip.
Your children are named Rocky, Jewel, Crystal, and Beryl.
You've taken a copy of Dana's Manual of Mineralogy to the bathroom.
You've installed a mineralogical database program on your computer.

Same goes for Popigai in northern Siberia... and isn't Manicouagan classic because of ring like lake inside it.
Also one smaller crater is well visible in center of west Australia.
Then there's one in Tajikistan near west end of Turfan depression.

[i]Things which need to be experienced rather than merely seen:
-Feel an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 5.0.
-Find dinosaur footprints in situ . Try the backcountry of southern Utah, there are millions of them.
Other suggestions: (Witness) see a tsunami, experience a volcanic ashfall, find a meteorite fragment, experience a sandstorm,...
The best of the rest: other natural phenomena to see or experience:
Witness a tornado, firsthand.[/i]
:D
I like compilations..

I mean, how often do friends give you a little baggy with dirt in it? :D hah hah
[B]As I recall, you've had a couple from me. :D [/B][/QUOTE]
Yes indeed!
And how I had to convince the wife of their worthyness to be hauled across country too... :D
I have them right here near by in the Curio cabinet too!
heh heh
BTW Biggles, didn't you mention something about White Island recently?

Btw... thanks for thinking of me ET...
;)
Love the top ten list for Ameature Geologist...
I fit quite a few of those criteria!
:D
[B]BTW Biggles, didn't you mention something about White Island recently? [/B][/QUOTE]
Indeed I did. All going well, I'll be going on a trip there later this year. I plan to push for the trip that involves walking on the island, if it's possible at the time, rather than just the offshore version. And if I get on the island, rest asured that I'll be taking as many samples as they let me. :D

Nice colored water in that first pic:

And remember not to take too big hammer for detaching samples... walls of crater are unstable.

Biggles, here's something for you to check...
Tsunami from Krakatau's eruption/explosion showed as 2m high wave in Auckland.
