The Bombarded 38' Parallel
August 2002 by Edgar B. Heylmun, PhD
A 1,200-mile long east-west zone, containing unusual geologic features, has been recognized in the eastern half of the United States for over 100 years.

Most of the features are circular or oval in form, and some are concealed by younger rocks. They are found in 8 states, from Kansas east to Virginia.Additional articles that might interest you...
