An elliptical depression, about 80 × 110 feet, in a wheat field which has been cultivated for about 35 years, just east of Chickasha, Oklahoma, was investigated in a preliminary way by photographing it from an airplane, checking its local history, and digging three test holes in it. No positive evidence of any single mode of origin was adduced, although there seems to be at least some slight possibility that it is meteoritic.
