I get it. "Wetumpka" was the sound of the meteorite colliding with the ground. Now it makes sense.

If there was not any amount of volcanic outflow around there I wouldn't hold out too much hope for metals or minerals of the valuable kind.

Any oil in Alabama otherwise? No reason for an Astrobleme to concentrate it. Oil requires an impervious unconformity with a structural downwarping before a structural trap. Sometimes this could be created with late outflows but it's pretty rare. Tectonics is the preferred creator of traps.

If the structure was an impervious ring and it was part of an uplift above a Permian sand, maybe. hmmmmmm....
