Meteor crater or salt dome? For years the concentric rings on the Spade Ranch were considered the results of a meteor impact.

However recent studies by a professor at Midland College cast a different light on the unusual formation.

Michael Makowsky, professor of geography at Midland College and colleague Danny McNeese began investigating the rings after a science documentary rekindled Makowsky’s interest in meteor craters.

“Earlier this year, I was visiting the Odessa Meteor Crater with two colleagues,” Makowsky said.

The intriguing ring formations at the Spade Ranch attracted the interest of local geologist Troy Powell.
