Imagine that you are a member of a team of scientists who are drilling into a large crater approximately 200 km wide. The crater was formed by an NEO impact that wiped out many species 251 million years ago. The drilling team will recover rock samples during the drilling process. You have some data to suggest that the crater is located between 500 and 1,500 meters below the surface. How will the drilling team know when the drill reaches the crater? What features will they observe? Complete these sentences related to that scenario and place them in the order they would be observed drilling from the surface to the crater floor (and below). further deformed undeformed continue shocked minerals ejecta stop little breccia much Upon approaching the floor of the original crater, would be encountered. Fractured material would of the crater 000000000 Below that level, rocks would be below the original floor Some mixed with the fractured rock by the impact. Drilling down from the surface, rocks should initially show evidence of impact and evidence of melted rock could be
