​The Stonehenge replica is located on the campus of the University of Texas of the Permian Basin in Odessa in Ector County, Texas. About 20 stone blocks, similar in size, shape, and appearance to the ancient Stonehenge in southwestern England, were unveiled in the summer of 2004. The replica matches the original Stonehenge horizontally, but it falls some 14% short in height from the English monument. The tallest stone on the original is 22 feet, while the highest in the Odessa version is 19 feet.

While the original may have taken 2000 years to complete, the replica was placed at UTPB in six weeks. The stones were moved two at a time on tractor-trailers and lifted into place on footings made of reinforced concrete.

Meteor Cater

The Odessa Crater, and four smaller craters, were formed in prehistoric time when a great shower of nickel-iron meteorites collided with the earth.  It is estimated the event occurred some 62,000 years ago.  It is the 2nd largest recognizable crater in the United States

The shower was composed of many thousands of individual meteorites of various sizes which fell over an area of about 2 square miles.  When freshly formed, the craters were funnel-shaped depressions, the largest about 550 feet in diameter and 100 feet in depth.  More than 100,000 cubic yards of crashed rock as ejected from this crater by the energy released from the impacting meteoric mass.  Smaller craters in the vicinity of the main crater range form 15 feet to 70 feet in diameter and from 7 feet to 18 feet in depth.
