Scientific paper

Results of a systematic survey of the Wabar meteorite craters in Saudi Arabia and of the surrounding strewn field of impact glass and impact-formed 'instant rock' are presented. A strewn field of impactites and instant rocks, exposed in patches between younger sand dunes, extends about 500 m northwest of Philby A and about 300 m southwest and south of Philby B. The patches of glass and instant rock essentially mark the surface of the sand sheet at the time of impact. Material in the southern part of the strewn field is chiefly ejecta from Philby B, 50 percent or more of which consists of instant rock. The material thrown farthest from Philby B to the south is entirely instant rock.
