4R-Manganese or Iron Dendrite - A fast formed fractal. 

I came across this specimen along a ridge I have worked many times before here at Lake Logan, TN. which is SW crater area. At first I thought it to be a tiny seaweed fossil or moss. It's etched adherence resist any scraping off and is very hard. The latest article I found on it's formation theory is it is formed so fast it cannot form any three dimensional structure.   https://www.researchgate.net/publication/300561563_The_Formation_of_Manganese_Dendrites_as_the_Mineral_Record_of_Flow_Structures

As a forensic method the support evidence must prevail for your conjecture rational. Bias is when you only select evidence that supports. A specimen that is unknown which supports is what you really want to find, like this one.

Fractal Spider - This specimen from Lake Logan, TN is one I picked up because it had a shock circle harmonic. When photographed with 100mm macro lens down at .01mm you can see these small bits of iron making fractal harmonic branching, a phenomena of it having energy inside the concretion. This is a dusty plasma physics. A dusty plasma contains tiny charged particles of dust (typically found in space). The dust particles acquire high charges and interact with each other. A plasma that contains larger particles is called grain plasma. Under laboratory conditions, dusty plasmas are also called complex plasmas.Morfill, G. E.; Ivlev, Alexei V. (2009). "Complex plasmas: An interdisciplinary research field". Reviews of Modern Physics. 81 (4): 1353–1404. Bibcode:2009RvMP...81.1353M. doi:10.1103/RevModPhys.81.1353.

autogenous electrification

The process by which net charge is built up on an object, such as an airplane, moving relative to air containing dust or ice crystals.

 

The electrification is produced by frictional effects (triboelectrification) accompanying contact between the object and the particulate matter.

Quantum and wave physics phenomenon. A period phenomenon can be repeating or not. The packet structure identified by Einstein made a reaction of shelf instability finding new balance with packet rebalance. It is an energy state wave physics. The more interesting packet phenomenon is lighting type tree fractal period. It is without a secondary period or time. It maintains the trunk as long as the energy for that structure is maintained and branches when not. If the energy gets even lower than branching it forms a ball. None of these quanta shifts are engrained repeating but do represent a period of power level militainment and energy dissipation. April, 25, 2024.

So here is the best example of breaking some from two dimensional construction but not much. It also shows some tendency to not form as crisp a fractal tree due to gold's malleability.

Gold fractal dendrite. Is not as crisp, gold is malleable. It does have some three dimensional quality but not much.
This was impact deposited as a gold plasma hence the fractal presentation. Although gold is the most noble of the noble metals, it still forms many diverse compounds. The oxidation state of gold in its compounds ranges from −1 to +5, but Au(I) and Au(III) dominate its chemistry. Au(I),

Shown above is an Impact Spheroid with fractal inclusions. It also has banding. I have been unable to classify fractals in any group but they are clearly present in conjunction with resonate banding here, but this specimen is unique in all the world. However the blue and white specimen above the "multiple fractal type" is also present with harmonic banding and that is as close to a grouping as I may get but will keep looking.

This specimen(s) is from the Phelan, California area NW of Los Angles, CA. USA. The reason I made it so full page here is you can see so many sequences of the development of fractals from the particle combining structures. It shows both completed and in process fractal transformations.

Another Feather Fractal - 

Fossil or fractal? Like fulgurites shock fractals can have a central tube from where the energy is entering. Then it fans out to disperse the energy which in the case of a shock fractal is a high energy wave form with resonate characteristics. If you don't mind I would like to add it to my on line encyclopedia of types as it is a new one.

The resonate characteristics are what separates the materials which is the form.

What constitutes something being a fractal? In the above specimen the resonate banding circle harmonic loses energy comes apart and ends as a fractal. That makes it an ending circle banding harmonic. Fractals close and are Septarians. Fractals are the expression of a dispersing energy by branching. Now take a look at the specimen below.

So here we are with a specimen from Lawrenceburg, TN a crater radius west. It is dendritic which means the energy wave was still making fast forms at this distance and outside the crater wall. The crater is a poor concept for understanding impact. The Fractal Energy Dome is taken from the  70's band DEVO who wore these hats that were step domes. This is a fractal type.

The quartz "Energy River." You often see this in fractal energy dispersal a quartz stream nearby. This was a high energy conduit. 

Incomplete Transition Fractal - Restructuring is a high energy business. This one went broke before it could complete. But that is the point, a fractal is the energy dispersing itself.  The green is shock olivine.

What they are calling a spider web is a fractal dispersion of energy. The black hole is radiating. See how instead of sharp lines like a lightning bolt it has fuzzy dispersion from the fractal i.e. ghost sequence. Fractals themselves like to branch off of a circular resonance by the way, so is also an outward ghost sequence banding.

The synced up harmonics of a fractal resonate universe. 

It was therefore a “big surprise,” added Pawlowski, that satellite galaxies around Centaurus A, a galaxy located 13 million light years away, are kinematically synced into a disk-like alignment rather than the messy swam predicted by the standard cosmological model. 

Pawlowski and his colleagues, including University of Strasbourg astronomer Oliver Müller, argued that this “observational evidence suggests that something is wrong with standard cosmological simulations” in a 2018 paper in Science

specimen Hemimorphite Fractal fractal branching an iterative harmonic. The tube wave is a type of fractal. This is because basically all the wave are in a distributive dissipation branching to resolve energy to "equilibrium." Of course there is no equilibrium as what appears to be a "steady state" is an active energy field environment.

The shock wave energy finds a material that it can resonate at it's natural frequency. So it makes the first form a line or circle. Then it still has too much energy so it branches off with a new line to absorb the extra energy until the frequency matches with the correct amount of length of material. The second branch is called a new iteration. 

This specimen has a phenomena circle. Resonate circles to fractals to circular dots.

This is a rare impactite. I think the fractal lightning looking inclusions may be manganese. But what makes it rare is that the fractal inclusions seem to be responding to a surface energy conduction into the rock.

This image from NASA's Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter (MRO) shows a dune field in Chasma Boreale. Never mind the NASA explanation, fractals emerging off of a linear is a shock harmonic iteration. Notice they go the same direction as fractals. The lower plain has another direction but does look swept, not fractal. While this may or may not be a dune field the presentation is septarain with open septarian.

This is kinda profound. I think this is a wave fractal. I usually think of fractal as the disorganization of the wave which ends it's energy. But this is iterating a branch. Mary Odem found in Middle, TN USA. I think it is in a state between wave and fractal.

So how many earth mountains have you seen with fractal branching? All of them are craters. Fractal branching is yet another of the many fine tuned physics that have to be in place for life to exist. There are so many it is impossible to assume that they all just happened.

Harmonic organization - In the trunk of the fractal trees you see the crossing sine waves showing a double helix. As heat only goes one way another fine tuning of phenomena the DC like power is breaking up into an oscillation. This is different than ball lighting which is a balanced finale solution to pressure. Wave phenomena is the same with shock or electricity.

Two dimensional crystal formation - is so fast it does not have time to make a third dimension. Why the gap and restart? A pulse wave. Why the trunk and side tree fractal branching? An iteration, power too high to be contained in the truck. These are grounding effects for energy. Dendrites are often formed in manganese, but don't have to be.

Charged chaos. This fractal energy discharge is different. The surrounding bubble is part of the effect phenomena. It even wraps at the end of that bubble. The fractals jump and studder. It runs a long fractal. The white is actually more of an olivine green mix. This is an edge effect of the ash/iron mixed nano minerals in a turbid fast moving surface cloud discharging as it goes. Something like neon bulbs electric plasma state but with nano turbid charge.

Native Copper from Arizona. I call this type a Stutter Fractal, an imperfect energy transfer signature. While branching it is not as tree like as other types. This usually means something to do with the material context and energy. Often these pure minerals are a great distance from the center of the impact, refined in the impact energy and blasted far into the crater walls as veins.

NGC 2359 is an iconic emission nebula in Canis. It is often referred to as Thor’s Helmet given the clouds shape with wing like appendages.

This is the same energy pattern I study in impactites, the circle will digress into a fractal distribution of energy.

Aerial photo of Paria Wilderness in Utah, USA.

Some 190 million years ago, at the turn of the Triassic and Jurassic periods, the Paria Wilderness was a sandy desert devoid of vegetation, very similar to the Sahara today. Vast dunes accumulated and turned into stone over the course of the earth’s history. The weathering today has laid open their inner structure and crossbedding.

The above is the kind of stuff you read in geology. So first let me introduce "energy stratigraphy." The lowest level of energy strata is gravity accumulation and compounding. Well that is clearly not what we have here. We have a frozen moment i.e. shock made instant rock. 

Fractal Coning not crossbedding. The idea that somehow a tectonic force pushes up a pressure made strata with crush features is the idea of crossbedding. Fractals are a fast formed energy signature as is coning structures. This shifting harmonic is striated a particular level of energy like striated shattercones. The cross hatching is another harmonic caught in a freeze frame, it came after the fractal coning a progressive event that would not have a tectonic squeeze explanation. As impact is a shock chaos explosion and landscapes and bolides are not usually uniform you have a progressive shock event. This location has a pulverized mineral content indicating that the bolide was blast reduced and mixed into the surface crater build. The carbon living material was pressure reduced into oil which was found in the crater wall. Also an instant process.

Fractal branching is specific to an energy level. It is a decay function. It is proven by attenuation experiments. A fractal length is a discrete energy dissipation event. It must degrade to a new packet quanta energy to form the next branch. A resonate wave quanta.

What would I do without Ray Forage interesting post? Ice lightning, shock waves, and rejection patterns. The fractal tree structures are ice lightning a type of energy form one of the most basic. The concentric arcs are shock wave or just wave a fundamental of quanta wave behavior. And finally, you can see a small pattern which is a rejection type where a substance is grouping in response to a foreign environment.

There are some places that seem exotic to me, this one is in the northern hemisphere.

Arctic Landscapes - Negribreen in Svalbard. Glaciers are called breen in Norwegian, as is the Negribreen glacier situated in the Spitsbergen Archipelago, north of the Arctic Circle – an area governed by Norway. Negribreen, named after an Italian geographer Christoforo Negri, covers barely 1900 square kilometres. Its ice creeps far into the sea and is therefore defined as a tidewater glacier. Negribreen began actively surging in summer 2016, resulting in surface velocities of more than 25 metres per day.

German Alps. Why does a powerful enough energy rotate? It has an order of magnitude quanta jump from fractal to cone to spiral as an expression of power forms. The spiral is a third order shape dimension shift.  Also consider Whirlpool theory Vagn Walfrid Ekman (3 May 1874 – 9 March 1954) was a Swedish oceanographer  is based on a connected fluid with different directions of force on top and bottom creating the twisting motion which is relatable to the earth's magnetic poles.

Fractal indeterminate branching - this is different than jasper type banding. The lines do have bifurcation its just the branching is non specific. This is a very high energy signature. Only an earth impact could make this as it is a very fast signature as well.

Pluto Impact melt to rubble with crater arc line. Rapid cooling. Crater fault circles are a dynamic reorganization (like sonic boom). In the melt flow you can see it transition from melt to fractal septarian, then rubble. The little boulders in the melt area are fall back not new impacts from space. You can tell that because of the concurrency and they lacked the speed to make new cratering.

Dendritic (fractal tree) with sine wave harmonic. The groves have the fractal trunk, that is the conduit of the highest energy. The branches are the energy dissipating. The wave shape of the rock is warpage from the high power trunk energy and the wave nature of the electric energy. Fractal energy dissipation is the bottom state of this geometric energy progression. This is organized however and makes a matrix grid. In space you would encounter the same if the energy makes a grid, a wave space.

It is an impact coning strata, but not like any you have seen before. The top part was made at the same time and is called false strata, rhythmic shock wave line imprinting. You can also see in the top section the granular particle grains in crystal configuration called "constellationing." As this is a higher shock made clast the constellationing configuration is geometric as the particles are aligning in the linear and circular configuration. 

Now for the bottom section cone which developed the nonconformable as an energy shift like shockwaves going to sonic boom. The fractal branching is coning upward as a combinatory shift from lightning tree shape to cone or triangle wave. This imprinting is the way energy develops a surface which shows the pattern. 

This is a type 1 impactite consisting of almost all impact surface material although you can see a green mist which is from the earth impacting bolide but sometimes this can be just moss.

Overlapping and interacting harmonics!

Now look at the fractals developing out of the top jasper section, very linear then branch as they touch the oblate circle harmonic, then pow, the energy makes a four arc wave into the oblate circle which is being overlapped by a lateral wave in its wavelength. 

There is some interference in the oblate circle in the lower section of the arc on the left side as another energy is interacting from the left.

Impact energy form - High energy fractal crossover - This is an impact made nodule of high energy signature. Its matrix is expressing the carrying energy seeking to ground or dissipate. The energy appears to be somewhat directional from the top but in an explosion projectiles can tend to rotate. Why does it have all those voids? Expansion, it is like a bubble so hot it was expanding, not a mosaic which is a cooling surface breaking. This was hot through and through. Could this be classified a cinder? Yes. Is this the same process that makes geodes? Yes, you can see them starting to form in the right lower quadrant but this energy is too chaotic.

Crater strata, yes this is called bricking, John MeDonogh. This is a very rare type. It has a surface patina of color but that is a nano mineral pulverization from the impacting bolide. The shock wave harmonic cut it into the brick shape a cross harmonic. The cuts in the brick are also shockwaves patterns as this is likely a crater edge effect the shock waves are settling down into pure harmonics and it is moving into a triangle wave which is the familiar "shatter cone." You can see this best on the bottom left edge of lower picture. If you magnify it you can see in the bottom picture a rare round granular particle circle large scale. This is a phenomena of shock and the granular crystal habbit. Finally the unconnected splits may be a colling mosaic but I rather think it is a ending effect of the shock wave energy, like sputtering. I need to add your specimen to my everything phenomena encyclopedia and it may seem odd to add it to my fractal dendrite page but the sputtering effect is a type of ending energy figure like a fractal, your example is just much more rare. Cacapon river in WV, this is a crater edge effect from the Chesapeake Bay Impact Structure.

Priceless! You have found the most phenomena demonstrating piece of shock floor I have ever seen. Unlike what is taught Hot Springs is the location of an earth penetrating impact. While not large by planet impact standards the Hot Springs Impact was very fast and relatively late. I live in another fast impact crater at Howell, TN Crater. Fast impacts are in excess of 30 miles per second. This is called a non captured speed as it is an object coming in from outside the solar system. The forms shown in your specimen are a developmental energy high shock. The energy makes fractal columns and shatter cones. The ending Septarian surface is a similar phenomena the same as column basalt which is also misunderstood as a volcanic form. Column basalt is a shock form and never observed in the history of volcanic eruptions.

Impactite, rare. Fractal coning and a second off axis sequence. High shock surface granular crystal habit patterns. Crypto crystalline quartz/silica was a fast formation orogeny. OK, so now for the physics. Fractals a fast form energy structure/form will move to coning as energy increases. It is an energy form shift. Another shift is going on where it is doing it again off axis. Why does this occur? It is the same type of phenomenon. The energy is trying to propagate. It was too much energy for just one form so it twinned. A really nice specimen.

Hi Lee Isham I come across this site and it looks like something interesting has happened here. What's your thoughts ?

Howell, TN Meteor

High pressure shatter coning with fast formed dendritic fractal surface. The larger earth impacts tend to make only high pressure shatter cones. The fractal surface is a later effect in the impact event, still a high energy signature. Not to denigrate the flute mark identification as it is correct as a flash card based system. The problem with any reference is the nature of databases to become outdated. As a phenomena a wave imprint like sand on a beach will degrade itself and not freeze in time without a subsequent high energy event to fuse it in place. The theory is without mechanism. Impact events provide high energy to freeze a wave form in place as well as produce the lightning like fractal forms. Another problem with crowd sourcing is that a specimen as rare as this is not often encountered with both high pressure shatter cones and dendrites.

Impactite meteorite - High energy formation and high metal content looks like a nickel iron. What is interesting is the trouble it is having forming the fractal forms. This is due to the nature of a fractal. A fractal needs direction and this is an off harmonic radial formed too close to the impact for the shock waves to settle into a specific form, an off harmonic. As for magnetism, shock energy  can both magnetize and demagnetize and as this specimen was too close to the forming orogeny it is a conflicted energy harmonic of non alignment crystal structure.

Ptygmatic fold versus Von Karman Vortices - The snake form is characteristic of the Ptygmatic however a Von Karman form will make wave type progressions. You can see in this specimen a Yen/Yang stop form. The magnification of the matrix shows a shock particle storm structure, and the specimen is highly metamorphic. The whole specimen was liquid at orogeny. It is an impact nodule. The figure and the matrix share common minerals, not a total isolation of the figure, which is also a property of a shock particle storm. Katie Kahill specimen. Dec. 7, 2022

Directional impact energy - A type 1 impactite made of impact surface material. You can also see this in the foreground rock nestled just left of triangle rock. These energy forms were made as a melt plasma and the fractal branching indicates the direction of formation orogeny with trunk facing energy. Now scattered so actual direction is unclear. While similar to a fulgurite a shock made expression will be made of the impact material as a melt flow usually without making a hollow structure. Is it electrical in nature then? No, while impact does often create high electrical charge due to turbulent particles, a melt flow like this is pure shock melt. So why do you not see this at the Barringer Crater in Arizona? The Barringer Crater is small, it takes a lot more energy to produce this phenomenon. Can a sedimentary process make forms like this? Yes, you can see them in caves. Forensically, many phenomena identify themselves by provenance. While Mars has water and likely has caves look where this is found. Mars has over half a million impacts of one mile or greater, so the forensic probability of best evidence is impact. How old is it? Again, a forensic examination of this location with these specimens on the surface would indicate it is a late crater in the planet accretion, a type 3 exploding impact which on earth associate with the post Cambrian and peeking around the Silurian.

Square wave on lighting main trunk.  This is a shift of energy form into one of the main sequence of oscilloscope forms. 

 This is an impactite from one of the big Oregon Craters. Yes the center is a chert type, however the outer rock is a bubbling quartz. It's most interesting feature is a second order energy tree fractal mosaic surface. Very Rare! So what is a second order tree fractal? A fractal energy form will branch when it exceeds its quanta bracket form. In other words it will keep making an energy trunk unless it has too much energy or too little energy as energy has a form that matches its quanta power state. Horizontal branching is a second order where the energy is so strong it must start a series of new sub branching each independent of the main trunk branch length structure. This energy was made in the shock chaos storm of turbulent nano particles swirling at very high speeds generating electric charge like a volcano does. A volcano will make lightning in its cloud up to 10,000 times the water vapor clouds propensity. The tube on the right is a collapsed bubble tube. The colors are nano cobalt and iron from the impacting bolide/meteor.

That is rare, like and share, who would dare to tell me what I really am? Fractal cavitation, is the only example I have ever seen. It is a type of chain cratering. Chain cratering is a plasma iterative bounce type of physics. If you have welded you have experienced this process. Welding tends to ground and stick your rod or plasma bubble. When you move it can make a chain of plasma chain cratering. While overlapping fractals is an energy signature the charge carried a dot plasma ; this was a plasma bubble bouncing just the same. Is cause by impact which makes high energy and plasma spherules. This is a type of impactite. I hope you don't mind if I add your specimen to my encyclopedia of phenomena. May 19, 2023.

Resonate boundaries and fractal division. Resonate boundaries are a fractal. A fractal as expressed in energy form will continue on its trunk until the quanta form cannot maintain state. That packet of wave energy has lost the ability to remain in that power of state. The next form will be a new lower energy state with as many expressions as that state will allow. The overall function is to dissipate energy. For a resonate boundary a high energy state can resonate an entire body with a single wave function. A lower energy state will make multiple resonate boundaries. That is the boxwork state of expanding circles compressing each other into polygons. The cooling mosaic cracks are the same. They are tree fractals and will complete to a Septarian with enough energy. This is also the phenomenon of column basalt, a resonate boundary only moving in a third dimension. Shape change of state is what is observed with ball lightning, a shift from tree fractal to ball/resonate boundary fractal. July 22, 2023.

Lightning sprite fractal shifts. Up fractal, ball lightning, up fractal, up fractal plasma. What you are seeing is an energy balance form. Sprite lightning is so fast because it is not a traveling type as much as a point explosion. In this figure the down is spreading out from the center as a typical branching lighting. Toward the center it studders as ball lighting in a transition form shift. The center is the high energy trunks which is its most powerful area state. The top branching upward is something like a filament. The up fractal plasma ball mist top is another form shift into a weaker but more scattered expression of energy in dissipation. Sept. 7, 2023.
An astronomer recently captured one of the most detailed-ever shots of a rare type of upward-shooting red lightning, known as a sprite, which briefly hovered in the air like a gigantic jellyfish during a thunderstorm over central Europe.

Stanislav Kaniansky, an astronomer at the Banská Bystrica Observatory in Slovakia, snapped the sprite near his home in Látky, Slovakia, on Aug. 14, Spaceweather.com reported. The luminous, zig-zagging structure measured more than 31 miles (50 kilometres) across and lasted for just a few fractions of a second before disappearing.

Sprites, or stratospheric perturbations resulting from intense thunderstorm electrification, are created when electrical discharges from lightning shoot upward, often in addition to their normal downward trajectory. These discharges create long strands of plasma, or ionised gas, in the ionosphere — the ionised part of Earth's atmosphere that starts at around 50 miles (80 km) above Earth's surface, according to NASA.

Think beyond: Dendrites - Dendrites (those fractal tree like figures on the surface of rocks) are a charged electrical deposition, Lichtenburg Figures (see pictures). It is a physical by product of impact explosions which like volcanoes make a lot of swirling particles causing lightning. But wait, that is not all, additionally this energy can set up shock rings (see figure 2). You will also find shock rings in crater areas. So why are they so often found? Based on Mars the Earth has over a million craters of one mile diameter or greater, so the average US state has around 2,000 craters. Oct. 21, 2023.

\Branching bifurcation a fluidized flow pattern. The central small pebble gran impalement occurred post flow. This is a relic impactite from the Douglas Lake Crater. The Tiger Stripe pattern is also recognized as one of the many Turing Patterns. Turing (Alan Turing 1952) described mathematically a rejection pattern sequence which includes this pattern form. The bifurcation is a fractal branching showing direction of flow with the trunks facing source however the fractal tree is an energy dissipation sequence and at the state of low energy of your specimen it has branching both ways. A rejection pattern is like mixing paint you have to have more energy to combine different materials so in this state they reject. Nov. 10, 2023.

Iron dendrite fractals (tree type). The green may be olivine. The white is milky quartz. This phenomena is produced by the impact cloud particles which in this case were iron from the impacting bolide/meteor itself. Basically it goes like this: the meteor hits and breaks into a billion particles which are swirling around making a static high charge and as the blast pebble passes the iron particles attach via electro deposition. It is most likely from the Rochester Crater which made Lake Ontario. Dec. 8, 2023.

Round impactite spheroids - Earth impact spheres are one of the most fascinating to the public rocks. If I am out rock hunting and speak to a local they often mention finding them. Large impact spheres can only be produced by a large earth impact > 80 miles in diameter. Large impacts can also produce small spheres too. I hope you don't mind if I add your picture to my encyclopedia as a sphere with vein tree fractals is much more rare. The lightning type tree fractal is a record of the energy when formed. While most associated with a charged energy it is also produced by shock similar to shatter cones. Attached is a crater map showing the big craters local to this area.

BEYOND MANDELBROT, THE ALTERNATING FRACTAL - BI DIRECTIONAL IS COMMON, IT IS AN ENERGY EXCITED STATE. AS SIMPLE AS VIBRATING RESONANCE IN AN ENCLOSED SYSTEM. WHILE WAVES MOVE THEY CAN ALSO BE OPPOSED WITH THE SAME FORM, LIKE BOSE CANCELLING. ENERGY FRACTALS ARE AN ENERGY DISSIPATION AND MAKE GREAT HEAT EXCHANGERS. THE ENERGY FRACTAL FOR EXAMPLE LIGHTNING IS ONLY STABLE AT IT'S ENERGY LEVEL AND WILL SHIFT FORMS AS IT DISSIPATES. THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE WITH BRANCHING LIGHTNING VERSUS TRUCK LIGHTNING OR WHEN LIGHTNING SHIFTS TO BALL LIGHTNING. SHOCK MADE SHATTER CONES CAN BE FOUND WITH ONE DIRECTION OR WITH THE CONE IN CONE OPPOSING FORMS. THIS IS A SHOCK REVERBERATION I.E. ALTERNATING. THE RAREST FORM IS THE Y FRACTAL AND IT'S BALANCE ALTERNATION. ONLY TWO EXAMPLES ARE KNOWN TO EXIST. THEY ARE SHOCK MADE. THE FIRST SPECIMEN SHOWN WAS FOUND BY MEG JAMIESON IN TRAVERSE CITY MICHIGAN. WHILE NOT IN COMPLETE BALANCE IT IS VERY ILLUSTRATIVE OF THE Y WAVE FRACTAL IN OPPOSITION. THE SECOND EXAMPLE IS FROM FRANKLIN COUNTY TN, MY SPECIMEN AND IS IN COMPLETE BALANCE.

For another fun edition of "found while Fairburn hunting"... I present a completely replaced bacculite segment. These (the single segments) are often referred to as "Buffalo Stones". I can't recall where exactly I found this, but chances are it was on the banks of the Cheyenne River. I haven't seen too many of these (less than 10). The best one I ever saw was a translucent green one that was found by Socks. I hope you all enjoy!

That is an impactite made from a large earth impact. The banding features are called dendritic but yours is special. Most tree fractal dendrites are made with manganese or iron when black. The center oval is a resonate banding due to the shock harmonic concentrating around the center of mass. The outer band is breaking up as it has less energy and made the tree fractal. Feb. 24, 2024.

Volcanic lightning ball shift - Trunk lightning is stable until it no longer is. Trunk forms will branch when the charge is too small or too large to contain the present trunk form. In the case shown in the picture we have ball flash lightning then a shift to a smaller lead trunk. The ball flash was an unstable form switch event. March 1, 2024.

Cloud Fractal.jpg
Impactite, silica, black iron oxide Fe3O4. How do I know this? Of course, meteorites and impactites have commonalities. While I study both I find impactites more interesting. Is so much more energy in the formation architecture. Your specimen exhibits such a feature. Spherical dripping a high heat melt phenomenon. While a meteorite can have such surface heat it cannot produce this because of the velocity. It could after landing but and so could an impactite. Surface flow: Meteorites have surface flow, this specimen does not show this well. It only has two rare features of surface flow, the before mentions spherical dripping and a cloud fractal. The central cloud fractal is going from left to right and the spherical dripping is going from top to bottom. The surface overall is a high heat wrinkling type mosaic. Density: High density favors impactites as the shock rarefaction and impact pressures are extreme. Magnetism: I often find impactites with high iron and no significant magnetism and rarely even test for it as NASA proved in the 1960' shock changes magnetism. Statistics: When in doubt choose impactite as they are more likely. The earth based on the moon and Mars has a surface crater of a mile diameter or greater about every fifteen miles. AI and the flashcard system: I have a master's degree in systems engineering and retired as phenomena coordinator for contracted research at the world's biggest research laboratory. Both systems require a previous image. I  use a forensic phenomenology method and magnify the specimen to analyze what energy signatures could have made it as you can tell from my analysis. This allows for the creation of the flash card and or AI heuristic. You have just proved that AI does not think. Your specimen is rarer than any meteorite. June 27, 2024.

Fractal balance issues.jpg
Fractal balance issues - Air and moisture is less up than down making grounding more difficult. While starting out with powerful trunk energy it diffuses into a cloud fractal. Down is also problematic in this example as it shifts between ball and leader trunk fractal. Dendrites including all fractal veins in rocks will demonstrate these same issues. Of particular note is the trunk lengths before branching. Branching is the result of energy dissipation where the energy is unable to hold the power of the trunk configuration and branches to a weaker form or it has too much energy to hold the trunk configuration as it is a quanta form of energy like electrons jumping shelfs. A shift from leader to ball is also a quanta shift as the energy is unable to remain stable in the leader configuration. The medium conductance is at issue here as well. While most geologist do not consider fractals an energy form they are mistaken, it is an energy signature just like lightning. The origin of this energy is both charged and shock waveform. Impact produces both as the impact explosion cloud is an electrical generator, just like a volcanos cloud which produces lightning at thousands of times the normal cloud type. Impacts are much greater than that with a typical ten mile diameter craters producing millions of megatons of energy including plasma like we see in nuclear bomb test. Up ionization also occurs which will make many materials charged. Oxygen 4 is common to impactites but it was in many cases O5 and the shift to O4 was done with fractal veins seen in rocks or strata. In iron sandstone craters you can see iron leader fractals stretching out 20 feet or more. The iron is also charged and/or ionized and reducing to stability by conductive expression. July 1, 2024.

This is an uncommon type of impact clast. It was thrown to the location and excavated by the creek as these are sometimes covered by the overburden. The iron is from the impacting meteor/bolide. The quartz vein is shot out by the molten stream of plasma material in the blast. The fine granular particle composition is called "Constellationing." It is a way impact reconstructs material a particle construction and reconfiguration. Type 2 impactite are ones that contain both the impact surface and the meteor/bolide material. The many features it has make it uncommon. The front feature is a fractal in a stopping wave flow. This is the wave ripple and the ending blobs. July 3, 2024.

Help identify this boulder.

I've had this boulder for around 5 years. I found it digging near a creek bed on the edge of a wetland area in ypsilanti, MI. My property is littered with what I assume are glacial boulders. Some bigger than cars. I can't say if this boulder is natural to the creek, or if it was glacial or man transfered.

I have a few ideas of what it may be. But I've never been able to confirm. So I really don't know. Can anyone identify?

My thoughts have been, Quartz, Gold Ore, Or even calcite embedded in limestone. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Impactite. The surface is a fractal mosaic which is not common. It has direction with the trunk of the fractal being the source of the energy direction and the branching the direction of flow. Quartzite was once sand. Surface color is due to iron blasted out as a mist forming black iron oxide and some red, the mosaic splitting occurred thereafter. In magnification you can see the development of thin line quartz fractals forming fiber crystals. Fiber crystals are shredded matter like found in Hawaii called Pele Hair but your specimen is in the proto process stage of forming these thin structures. The QLD southeast crater complex is shown on the attached map with the two nested craters in the much larger older crater. The bigger two are the prime suspects as this took a whole lot of energy.

Indium negative.png
Wakefield, KS is in an Indium Negative Crater. A previous earth impact spread the Indium and the later impact not containing Indium hit making an Indium negative crater. As you can see the earth has sustained just as many impacts as the Moon or Mars you just have to be looking for them. Aug. 15, 2024. 
Rivulette Energy Form.jpg

Meteorite versus impactite. Rivulet flow into cracks and energy rivulet. Flow into cracks is something that meteorites do. This one has an energy fractal rivulet. That would be an impactite. Not a common feature. Also lacking a charred ablative surface. So how dies this happen? Notice the stuttering circles in the fractal trunk, then it does a foreword and backward branching. It is in a final breakdown of the charged energy. There are two types of impactite charged energy. The first is from the chaos particle storm created by the impact kinetic blast, a generator of static charge like lighting. The second is the high heat and pressure ionization from the impact explosion. These up change and down change causes the release of ion based energy. Which is this? Cannot tell. Aug. 18, 2024.

Impactite, energy made fractals with imparted metal from the impacting bolide/meteor. Take a look at the attached magnification. It shows fractal flow in reduction. This is the energy dissipation.

Found this in Lightning Creek, Clark Fork Idaho. You can see there's actually grooves in the rock where the "black" material is located. It has some reflective properties when it hits the light, bit not shiny or anything... and the last picture shows what looks like branches or the top of a leafy bush, maybe... thoughts??

Google Images said "Cladoxylopsids: An extinct group of plants related to ferns and sphenopsids," which kinda fits my thoughts in terms of possibilities.

Beautiful wispy type fractal. A variation in charge and flow. While lighting is a high energy form as it must overcome a non-conductor this is another type of resistance based energy dissipation. Aug. 20, 2024. Traven Atterberry specimen.

Deschutes Jasper

  • June 19, 2023

  • Deschutes Jasper is relatively similar to Biggs Jasper and is often miss identified but don’t worry we outline multiple ways to tell the difference. Just so you know, the main difference between the two Jaspers is the picturesque landscape patterns are more detailed in Deschutes Jasper than in Biggs Jasper.

If you’re new to collecting Jaspers then you’ll want to understand the basics. First, Jasper is an opaque, fine-grained variety of Chalcedony which is comprised of microscopic Quartz crystals intermixed with various impurities. Jasper can come in any color and take on many appearances.

More often than not, varieties of Jasper get their name from the locations they’re found in.

If you spend time at a rock and mineral show you’ll see quite a few dealers selling all sorts of varieties of Jasper but they’re not all genuine Jasper. Many of them are actually Rhyolite. Among the best-known Jaspers are Bloodstone, Porcelain Jasper, Brecciated Jasper, and Picture Jasper. Deschutes Jasper falls in the Picture Jasper category.

 

FAQ For Deschutes Jasper

While it’s believed that Deschutes Jasper was initially discovered by Native Americans, the discovery of this picturesque stone is attributed to Hoot Elkins. The claim states that Hoot discovered Deschutes in the 1960s.

If you know anything about history then it’s very plausible this variety of Jasper was dug and used by Native Americans but our history books attribute the discovery to Mr. Elkins.

It’s been said that Hoot first discovered some ancient rock hammers in a fifteen-foot pit. As he further explored the pit, he found a massive boulder of Deschutes Jasper that showed signs that it was knapped, which means those hammers likely belonged to the Native Americans (if you don’t understand the knapping then

Deschutes Jasper is often confused with another well-known Jasper variety, Biggs Jasper. It can sometimes be difficult to tell the difference between the two but the main difference is the tight pattern exhibited in Deschutes Jasper whereas Biggs Jasper has a more landscape pattern.

You’ll also notice the quality of the polish on the cabochons because Deschutes Jasper will typically have a better overall polish which will show off the light, medium, and dark brown wavy patterns. This is the main reason why lapidary artists love working with it.

 

How Does Deschutes Jasper Form?

Deschutes Jasper form when fine pyroclastics or volcanic ash are cemented into a solid material from silica precipitation. This cementation process can sometimes be so aggressive that the ash, sediment, or volcanic particles are dissolved or recrystallized into microcrystalline Quartz. These particles are what give Jasper its color and opacity.

Did you know, an opaque variety of Chalcedony that can be called Jasper?

How To Identify Deschutes Jasper

Deschutes Jasper often contains Dendrite inclusions. As mentioned above, this variety of Jasper was formed as mud, derived primarily from volcanic ash that filled the crevices and later solidified. There are various ways to identify stones; you simply have to know what to look for. You can conduct multiple tests, including hardness, streak, and specific gravity. Let’s look at the details.

 

Hardness: 6.5 to 7

Streak: Yellow, White, Brown, and Red

Specific Gravity: 2.500-2.600

Toughness: Excellent

Very rare impactite. It is a lateral fractal coning (shatter cone type). Narrow triangle wave cones were made by higher energy than the traditional sine wave cones. Why does it have crossing fractals? The energy was too high. Fractal branching is energy dissipating. Low pressure sine wave type shatter cones are a low relative energy around 5 GPa. The specimen has tiny impact spheres blasted out from the impact kinetic explosion (circled left side). The right side has high energy splitting fractals, rare. Fractal energy physics. While lightning is the most familiar, this energy involves the whole body of this specimen and may be from an ionized material shift which releases energy as it shifts back down to a stable electron state for the cooled temperature.

I found this fossil in my son and daughter-in-law’s backyard, while doing a bit of gardening. They live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

If anyone has any idea of what it might be, I would greatly appreciate it. The photos show 2 sides of the fossil. My son thinks it might be something like sand or mud ripples, but I think that it might be some kind of an aquatic creature. It’s about 4 inches in length.

My thanks in advance.

The strongest argument for new fossil type is tubular depth. This is not a surface ripple construction; it has a tapering tube construction. You can see this from where it broke and the raised nature of the figure below it. Sept. 25, 2024. Anti thesis, cone-in-cone isn’t a theory, it’s a pretty well documented sedimentary structure. Shatter cones are a completely different structure. I understand if you’re not very familiar with sedimentary geology it might seem strange. There’s lots of research on sedimentary geology if you’re interested in learning though.Synthesis, Hegelian dialectics is an interpretive method that involves the conflict between contradictory propositions (thesis and antithesis) leading to a higher level of truth (synthesis)12. It was originally used to relate specific entities or events to the absolute idea. So I am done now with these many thesis and conclude this is a fossil known or unknown. So first lets start with the sedimentary thesis. After centuries of observation no such mud structure has ever been identified in a raw un lithified state. Also as proposed the specimen presented does not conform to the typology. It is separate non axial figures with fractal surfaces. There is no such example in the sedimentary examples. Furthermore the presented specimen has clam like shapes as shown in the first magnification shown lower right. All of this points toward fossil. Physics form thesis. The presented specimen does not have a common axis therefore does not conform to any type of wave ripple physics. The tubes bend which also negates wave physics. As for my study of sedimentary cone physics, many years ago I included the first Wiki example of this in my encyclopedia chapter on shatter cones. Two weeks into my field work on the Howell, TN Impact structure I discovered that geologist in general including impact geologist do not truly understand shatter cone physics, as I found triangle, sawtooth, and cones side by side 2 miles SW of Howell, in a boulder. Shatter cones are common wave forms as seen on oscilloscopes. Sediment/erosion physics is the oldest of the geological theories and goes back to Hutton who was standing on a crater wall formation at Siccar Point when he developed this ironic hypothesis. Incidentally as a student of theory Darwin was an acolyte of Hutton and considered unlimited time to be fundamental to his thesis which we now know to be false. As a time, consideration the presented fossil would appear to be Cambrian as part of the Cambrian explosion. An early fossil type as it is similar to the recent find article I cited.

Fractal balance condition is the free to oscillate condition. Figure is from Andy Masley's 1B Physics Lectures. 

And now we come full circle as this specimen example is lined up on an axis and presents the coning with lateral fractals. It also has tiny impact spheres. And there is those shock circles in the background structure. This is a convincing impact made cone in cone shatter cone structure, which would mean there was a melt shift disfiguration of the Alberta specimen above. As a rule as complexity increases the likelihood a specimen is a physics figure decreases. These examples are pushing that limit but the two examples together complete the surity of being impact made. Note the left to right change to lateral fractal process. This is a secondary harmonic. Sept. 26, 2024.  

It is just a matter of scale here. The young ones look different but are easier to identify. They got large and you can see the filaments fractal out as appendages. Sept. 27, 2024.

Impactite, shock agate. The yoke section is the isolation of iron by the high energy resonance. This kind of wave energy is like your microwave oven and cooks from the inside center of mass outward. It also reflects against the shell, and you see some parabolas. The fractal is an electric charge that built up and flashed like lightning toward the center from the iron ring just inside the shell. The grey is cryptocrystalline flint. Oct. 3, 2024.

I found this while out walking this morning it looks a lot like a fossilised egg? Would be great to see what people think and what animal it may have been…?

This is a micro picture of a shocked rock I collected from the Wetumpka, AL Impact Crater. Carnelian, emerald, the ghost peaks and micro fractal you can see going diagonally from bottom left to top right. In the lower right you can see pollen. How big is pollen? Glad you ask, it is from 10 to 200 nano meters which gives you the resolution scale here of say 30 microns. The fractal feature would be only a couple hundred nano meters. Oct. 21, 2024. 

Ok, this one is very rare. As you can see along the bottom it is a splatterform. It has a fractal/sheet wave pattern as well as crossing blast. The edges tend to fractal out. The top goes into one of those familiar not organized blast surfaces. Thompson Creek, Bankhead National Forest. Nov. 13, 2024.
