Interesting point about the hammer effect on a rock. It might be more interesting than the crater itself. I guess being a big swallow bowl collects the dust over the eons....
If you look at the DIMES combo images in the press release section, you will see the heat shield impact seems to have occurred on the far side of the Bonneville crater. That is probably the shiny object seen in these pictures of the crater.
I hope they drive around the crater to see the hole they made with the shield.
