AI Thread Summary
To verify the discovery of potential meteor crater structures in Australia, it is advisable to consult a local University Geology Department for expert assessment. Additionally, referencing a database of verified impact sites, such as the one provided, can help determine if these structures have already been documented. Sharing photographs of the findings can further assist in the verification process.

Thread 'The Secrets of Prof. Verschure's Rosetta Stones'
(Edit: since the thread title was changed, this first sentence is too cryptic: the original title referred to a Tool song....) Besides being a favorite song by a favorite band, the thread title is a straightforward play on words. This summer, as a present to myself for being promoted, I purchased a collection of thin sections that I believe comprise the research materials of Prof. Rob Verschure, who at the time was faculty in the Geological Institute in Amsterdam.
