Read by the geologist Steven Aitken, who concluded the pit is a collapsed cavity in Windsor Group gypsum, and quoted in part by MacPhie and Wonnacott. Unpublished. Joltes reports one Woods Hole scientist saying there are no secret Woods Hole files and that the study was paid for by a private donor, not by Triton (Joltes 2002).
