Odessa Meteor Crater

It is accessible approximately 3 mi (5 km) south of Interstate 20 at Exit 108 (Moss Road).

[3] The web site of the University of Texas of the Permian Basin (UTPB, Center for Energy and Economic Diversification), identifies five craters at the Odessa site and shows a distribution map of the meteorite fragments recovered from the area.

[4] The recoveries have generally come from an area to the north and northwest of the main crater site, with only a few found to the south.

They indicate that the structure of the main crater, because it was one of the earliest to be recognized and studied, is now used to name similar impact sites on a worldwide basis.

The crater itself and the museum curator, Tom Rodman, were featured in the June 1, 2013 broadcast of Bob Phillips's syndicated television series Texas Country Reporter.
