There is a Gebel Kamil crater web page at:http://www.mna.it/hosts/Kamil/field_act.htm

By the way, I accidentally added a quotation mark to the URL for the PDF file of the guidebook containing the paper about the Sudbury impact ejecta outcrop.

The correct URL for the field trip guidebook should be: http://mgmudrey.brinkster.net/ILSG/ILSG_54_2008_pt2_Marquette.pdf

This URL should work.
