Yes but it's asphalt not tar and ponds not pits ... all sorts of creatures got trapped in the black stuff up to 38,000 years ago.
Noel Thomas38,000 years ago did they evolve sufficiently to realise it was not very smart to go into the black stuff?

Amazed at how many wind farms there are. It seems that although the US politicians are mostly in denial about climate change at least the Californians are getting on with it!

Sadly all the river has been diverted to provide Flagstaff with water so the habitat is changing.

Very true but what about the Astronaut figure and American flag on the bottom right????
Noel ThomasAs I recall, the ejecta flanks of the Barringer crater have been used for astronaut training and equipment tests, since Project Apollo in the 1960’s. Due to the geological composition of the crater it has provided an ideal site for exploration tests, including sampling and drilling using hand held tools, including the coring drill.
