Gord, do you think if the asteroid came in fast at an extreme angle heading towards the Wanapetei, that the liquid magma "splooshed" and kind of "squirted up" at an angle towards the Wanapetei, and splashed like wet paint spilled from a tipped over paint bucket, all over the Wanapetei area, and that is part of the mixed strata we have here now somewhat eroded from 1800 million years ago?

Or could there have been a rickocheting bullet effect occurred wherein magma was forced up by the expanding pressure waves under the Wanapetei area from the catastrophic event nearby at the Sudbury impact crater?

The next time I talk to God, I will ask Him if He remembers the event. {:-))

<You would have a sort of rebound or squirt back effect just like when you drop a ball in the water and after the ball breaks through the surface, the water splooshes back in and it kind of squirts up in the center.>

Thanks Gord! It all makes sense now! Seriously, I couldn't figure out the Sudbury excavated bit, thinking glacier movement etc., but the meteor 'excavation' is just (probably) exactly what the article was referring to.
I still don't see how the Wanapitei anomaly was formed unless the Wanapitei crater was formed by a meteor that plunged (on a 48.65% angle heading west to east) into the earth like a bullet that lodged deep and THEN the magma started an upward movement spreading out FAN-LIKE into all the native rock above the meteors final resting place. This would explain things nicely. Maybe we should ask the local 'bush-pigs' for some feedback on this theory. 'But Wait'. There's a knock on my door. 'Hello Sir. We are here to take you away now, to a nicer, gentler place'. Ok Guys and Gals. I guess that's it. I'm outta here for awhile! ;-)
