U-Haul is teaming up with the Northampton County Chamber of Commerce during one of their 2008 Harbor Parties to celebrate the official unveiling of the Virginia SuperGraphic highlighting the Chesapeake Bay impact crater.
The sixth largest impact crater in the world was buried more than a thousand feet below sand, silt and clay, lying undiscovered at the bottom of Chesapeake Bay and its surrounding peninsulas for more than 35 million years. The discovery of the Chesapeake Bay impact crater solved a great geological mystery and forced geologists to revise their thinking about the geology of the Atlantic Coastal Plain.
Join us as we commemorate the discovery of the Chesapeake Bay impact crater.

THE CAPE CHARLES MUSEUM ADDS:
The discovery of the Cape Charles Crater, the largest crater in the U.S., created a lot of excitement here a few years ago. In 2005 an oil drilling type rig was set up near Eastville and yielded core samples from as far down as 1 mile.
David Powars, the geologist who was chiefly responsible for discovering the crater, gave several well attended talks here a few years ago and recently donated 6 rocks from the dig to the Cape Charles Museum. They are now on display at the Museum with accompanying materials about the crater and its effects.
Roger Byrnes, on whose land the dig took place, has promised the Museum the flag that sat atop the rig.
