One of the most unusual sights in northern Arizona inį, the "Shell Hole" or meteor crater that is situated near the town of Winslow. This immense hole in the ground which was evidently made by the falling of a meteor thousands of years ago is four thousand feet across at the pit of the crater and 600 feet deep. In a mine shaft that has been sunk by scientists to get as the body of the meteor lies under tons of sand the

conglomerate mass that is believed to be the meteor itself. Insat is Joe Miller, a Navajón Indian gulde with a piece of the meteor which he found at the bottom of the mine shaft. The town of Winslow hwa profited to a great extent by this presence of the crater, as it lies near the great Mogullon Plateau, which is one of the most beautiful sights in Arizona and at- tracts thousands of tourists every year.
