Holes are so interesting in rocks. They are the black hole of time, or are they it's key? I find them throughout the crater and even in point zero where it hit. The Ft. Payne chert boulders shown below are from the mid north crater west of Cornersville, TN. Take special note of he "too round" ones.
Notice the iron residual in the holes.
A forming geode in hole.
Ft. Payne chert boulder with crinoid stem in hole.
Iron and iron crinoid stem in hole. So the iron from the meteor impact made a fossil? And as you can see below the holes contain modern snail shells too. A crinoid is supposed to be extent but in the same mix as modern snails. Dating by fossils just does not work. Dating by impact event does.
And most important the unconsoladated with iron. This appears to be the reason for the holes. The material in the holes is not rock chert but a iron clay like inclusion as a swirl like composition i. e. meteor caused in a wet energy based slurry plasma mixing. If you blow the picture up and zoom in on the hole feature the thought process gets even more interesting. Here you have a modern snail a small fossil snail just to it's left but not different from a modern snail and a variable hole of less dense and even more less dense material. Their is no time relationship of fossils; quite the contrary. Also the time of soft material removal does not correspond with a 300mya event. This soft material exposed as found in sutu should have long ago worn away. This small Fort Payne chert boulder makes a good case for young earth.
Specimen above is meteorite with holes. Space craters. Fell to earth at Wilmington, NC.
Specimen above has a "constellationing" build up in layers over the hole. The hole is high iron surfaced. Some rapid layering event.

Now get ready for these holes in he Silurian Brassfield formation. This specimen was found one mile south of Baugh on the railroad cut. It is clearly gassing and even making a bubble, with the gas escaping through small holes. It appears to be a shore that was making gas. Oh, notice it also has iron inside it. This is not concurrent with any meteor event according to the geology time system and iron just does not appear out of nowhere. It is sourced from the earth's core or meteors. There is no indication of any earth tectonic breaks anywhere near. I can only conclude there was a Silurian Impact, likely at Lewis county that splashed iron all the way over here.
Agate above is from central KY. See the iron? This is an impact agate. Are you happy? The central basin of KY is an old impact crater.
Local calamity like an impact event does not line up with the so called "fossil record" used to make strata organization. But if you read the strata organizers work, they had a tough time of doing that and make revisions.
The specimen below was found in Midlothian, TX near where shock cinders were also found.
Iron >>>>>>>>
Shock evaporation erosion. Nothing like a big boulder to tell a story well. I think the one below was thrown there very hot and gassing out it's surface. Makes holes that resemble an effect you see on stream beds also.
The boulder below is on the side of Gingerbread Rd. going from Petersburg to Howell, TN. It is too round. Did it used to contain a softer inclusion that has eroded out?
Round copper inclusion on boulder in Petersburg, TN.
Chip off a boulder SW of Elkton on the crater floor is fizzing away vaporizing! Tiny holes. The boulder I am sure was not thrown there but in place.
Shown above is the Japanese Museum of rocks that look like faces.
Crater wall rubble specimen shown below you can see more of on my quartz page. This void could represent wadding up paper and leaving a void or it could be material that has flashed off as vapor. I think it is the former because of the texture inside the void. Only example of it's type on earth I am aware of.
Very intriguing septarian hole patten in this specimen.
Possible EMP discharge as it is not a lighting like fractal and is a pattern effect.
Specimen below was found in Hanford, California. It is a Geofact, appears to be man made but from a geological in this case astro geological process. Besides the shock particle storm inclusions including iron particles, it has venting tunnels from a high heat gassing effect. These tunnels are crossing and expanding, changing directions as they encounter different densities. Like the specimen above also from California the evidence of a very big impact is crossed with the tectonic probably later events. However the Nevada basin is so large as to indicate the first and foremost of investigative opportunities as the site of the source crater.
You can read about the shock particle storm at: https://www.hillbillyu.com/constellationing
Specimen shown left was found at Lake Logan, TN a double hit crater blasted down to the Silurian strata. The groves were blasted away at time of event. They are not a weathering process. Is like wind prints. Magnified image shown below.
_JPG.jpg)
Of meteorites and impactites, phenomena is key. While confused as having some metamorphic change by earth atmosphere entry, shock is the real signature process. The specimen shown I picked up because of the groves, which I thought peculiar. Now I live in a double hit crater so any rock is likely peculiar, Atmosphere entry burns off shock effects like this one presents. Shock viscous crystal strings. Also you will see the particle alignments which I study. The particles will connect by some physics mystery.
Trinitite shown below from the Nevada dessert. Although the blast is thought to be as low as 13 GPa but higher heat than impact explosions, the impact glass shows venting holes from gas/vaporization effects. It also has particle inclusions. While atomic explosions are not thought of as kinetic events the explosion is precipitated by a chemical explosion percussive fuse that smashes the unstable elements together fracturing the atom. Now think about a meteor traveling through celestial space colliding with exploding stars and unstable debris forms then smashing into earth at cosmic speed 30 + miles per second. The meteor could contain exotic elements highly unstable who knows if we even know of them all and this compression on impact is the true first atomic explosion on earth.
Specimen below was identified as a cactus fossil but is more likely an early tree type similar to a palm.
This one makes my hole hall of fame. Very metamorphic with a football shaped hole with crisp edges. Strange.
The other side looks like it caught a baseball in a catchers mitt. I would think it was shocked plasma when the impact occurred because it is so metamorphic now and look at that nano iron halo.
Above specimen is from New Zealand. It shows how close holes and cinders are. Most cinders are pours like a sponge. This one evaporated like a doughnut. It has a multi mineral particle composition from the shock storm. It also appears to have wind prints from the shock storm as well.
Well OK as long as we are looking at special cases, the specimen left is from Midlothian, TX. There is an impact structure in the west and northwest of Ft. Worth, TX. I call this one the impact bullet. It went all the way through the shocked rock. It is a layered event. It must have been in a shock plasma state and traveling at super speed. You can see the fractal pattern surrounding the impact point.
The "entry wound" is shown left. The exit wound shown below.
Shown below is a remarkable event that took place between Sept 2016 and Feb 2019, leaving a crater with the most gorgeous blue against that red Martian soil. Notice how similar it is to the specimen above. Is more like an impactite than a crater. It even has granular crystal habit on it's scale as the process seems to not be size constrained. I think this bolide was not dense or large enough to make a true crater explosion. Lateral blast wave without any real crater wall structure which is a later stage event to resolve the residual crumble from large deep explosion which we don't have here.

This is a shock made impactite? The matrix is a small particle composition which is blast pulverized material in the large bolide impact. It was a plasma when hit by a projectile causing a bubble bulge. This type of example is rare and I would consider valuable.

The meandering line of craters, too many for random. Connecting as they do indicates they were formed at the same time or else walls would separate. This resembles a cavitation effect.
Specimen from Lake Logan, TN SE Giles County. It is a shock tempered clast and clinks when struck and is very heavy. See the path of the grove from right to left finally piercing through. In the physics environment of a large earth impact hundreds of Giga Pascals (GPa) are present and plasma mineral balls are flying around in many directions close in to the impact center.
More chain crater mystery. This is a shock made bolder blasted from the lower strata of the Howell Impact Structure fifty miles to the end of Whites Gap Rd. in South Franklin County, TN. The cluster makes me think something came apart before impaling this plasma. It even appears to be separating just before impact as you can see the dual penetrations side by side.

Some rocks I have found in Muskogee, Ok. I have been curious as to how they formed. I thought volcano. I like them because of their unusual appearance.
Impactite with ballistic impalement. Notice how the many impalements vary. That is a trait of earth impacts, a shock chaos storm. This was very hot and has a melt surface. The matrix is a granular particle structure which is also a trait of impactites. Swirl separation and iron in a nano type of state. The plasma iron can land on an impact forming nodule as a plasma from the much hotter center of the impact which falls as a hot molten iron plasma hence the crust you see.

Center picture laeotropic (spinning to the left) Silica, Iron oxide impactite. - Plasma spinning really fast, you can see the directionality lines and a type of stretch cavitation which the center hole really is. This would be a higher shock and propelled outward in the ejecta steam and contains the pulverized iron from the impacting bolide. While it is a chert/flint the spin made matrix would be complex and of course crypto crystalline. It has a high iron content.

Impactite. These type 1 & 2 impactites were once the surface bedrock. It is ejected as a simi plastic and while close in to the explosion encounters plasma spheres from the more central core of the explosion often iron plasma spheres from the meteor/bolide. They burn through the impactite in flight making these forms often while turning. Impactite. Ces impactites de type 1 et 2 étaient autrefois le substratum rocheux de surface. Il est éjecté sous forme de plastique simi et, tout en étant proche de l’explosion, rencontre des sphères de plasma du noyau plus central de l’explosion, souvent des sphères de plasma en fer du météore / bolide. Ils brûlent à travers l’impactite en vol en faisant ces formes souvent en tournant. Erosion (Dental Cavity) theory. The many angles of these bore holes and the circular nature of them is much harder as a theory to be true, actually quite improbable. Théorie de l’érosion (cavité dentaire).

Bonjour from France, a new member here.
We found these gorgeous stones while doing some digging near the Swiss border of Eastern France (Doubs). We don't know much about geology, just wondering what could possibly their origin - is it limestone, and where do all the intricate holes come from, and why from all sides (water inside a cave perhaps?) And how many years they might have been in the process of formation?
Impact plasma hole burns from the Sudbury Impact. The energy of impact is so high that impact features do not come to mind for the common observer. While impact is far over the scale of Hydrogen Bombs you will nevertheless have a plasma bubble in these explosions. A kinetic explosion also makes a plasma core but is in many bubbles as the matter is ripped apart. Often this will be iron plasma but does not have to be. Notice the through and through hole in this Trinitite specimen (Trinitite is rocks made by the first atomic bomb test, Photo by Ted Kinsman) Oct. 15, 2023.

Antennae Galaxies reloaded
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has snapped the best ever image of the Antennae Galaxies. Hubble has released images of these stunning galaxies twice before, once using observations from its Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) in 1997, and again in 2006 from the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). Each of Hubble’s images of the Antennae Galaxies has been better than the last, due to upgrades made during the famous servicing missions, the last of which took place in 2009.
The galaxies — also known as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039 — are locked in a deadly embrace. Once normal, sedate spiral galaxies like the Milky Way, the pair have spent the past few hundred million years sparring with one another. This clash is so violent that stars have been ripped from their host galaxies to form a streaming arc between the two. In wide-field images of the pair the reason for their name becomes clear — far-flung stars and streamers of gas stretch out into space, creating long tidal tails reminiscent of antennae.

Spiral compression. Is the end result of spinning. Is like how they put cotton candy on a roll. Feb. 18, 2024.
Hoag's Object is an unusual ring galaxy in the constellation of Serpens Caput. It is named after Arthur Hoag, who discovered it in 1950 and identified it as either a planetary nebula or a peculiar galaxy. The galaxy has approximately eight billion stars, and is roughly 120,000 light years across.
In the initial announcement of his discovery, Hoag proposed the hypothesis that the visible ring was a product of gravitational lensing. This idea was later discarded because the nucleus and the ring have the same redshift, and because more advanced telescopes revealed the ring's knotty structure, which would not be visible if the galaxy were a product of gravitational lensing.
Many of the galaxy's details remain mysterious, foremost of which is how it formed. So-called "classic" ring galaxies are generally formed by the collision of a small galaxy with a larger disk-shaped galaxy, producing a density wave in the disk that leads to a characteristic ring-like appearance. Such an event would have happened at least 2–3 billion years ago, and may have resembled the processes that form polar-ring galaxies. However, there is no sign of any second galaxy that would have acted as the "bullet", and the likely older core of Hoag's Object has a very low velocity relative to the ring, making the typical formation hypothesis quite unlikely. Observations with one of the most sensitive telescopes have also failed to uncover any faint galaxy fragments that should be observable in a collision scenario. However, a team of scientists that analyzes the galaxy admits that "if the carnage happened more than 3 billion years ago, there might not be any detritus left to see."

An impactite with plasma hole burns. Impact releases trillions of mega tons of explosion energy. While a bomb wants to make a single source explosion the impacting bolide is not uniform and it is a multi source explosion with "local effects." While the tunnels in your specimen are what you notice most the holes are indicative of plasma burns. The tunnels are just moving bubbles. Attached is a lab experiment of high energy plasma discharge. So why not worm tunnels? To petrify this effect you would need an instant method to turn moist dirt into rock. So now you have two events required. The ceramic process would be 2,000 plus degrees. Requires a catastrophic event. Also you need to produce a nodule not a strata. A piece of unfired greenware like a nodule is fragile and will dry out and crumble. Impact plasma burn holes satisfies the physics required with one event. Feb. 21, 2024.

Cindering versus plasma bubble impalements. Looks more like plasma bubble impalements. To cinder this much usually would not leave the un cindered lower section.

Huge Hole Found in the Universe

The nature of explosion dynamic storms is a sorting dynamic. If for example a very large sub collision explosion or non kinetic energy based event occurs you will make a void pushing away the previous dynamic. In the diagram shown above you can see a continuation of voids as it resorts to a more homogeneous dynamic. It is just a matter of scale as the explosion dynamic is not uniform and as you can see it was not a solid mass before or after. When investigating impactites they will show various stages of the impact storm. Some will be type 2 a mixture of the impacting bolide and the surface. As the impact excavates deeper the impactites will switch to bedrock types. The pulverized swirling material will generate electrical charges that ground against passing impactites in parts of the impact storm. The more central areas will have plasma cavitation however I have seen large boulders thrown 60 miles from the impact point with large cavitation holes as they were central when formed. May 10, 2024.

GLASSY WONDERS – Volcanic & Impact Glass
Robert Jelinek · ·
Fulgurite from Marquette, MI, USA. The more unusual type of fulgurite can be produced when the cables of a high voltage electrical distribution network break, and the wires fall onto a conductive surface beneath, in the presence of loose sand or soil. This is what happened south of Marquette, MI this spring when a tree was hit by lightning and fell on two high tension wires. Not only did the live wires melt four feet of snow and dry out the grass, but they started a fire in the grass along the highway. The wires arched for three hours before the power company and fire department were able to respond. Once everything cooled off, the family was surprised to find two streaks across the ground that intertwined. All along the streaks there were colorful fulgerite tubes showing on the surface. All along the streaks there are fulgurite-like tubes sticking up out of the soil. They are made from amorphous (non crystalline) silica quartz. Apparently, the current-conducting area around the downed power line continued to expand and glow as electrical current flowed into the ground. Not only were there rows of the fulgurites, but there were also horizontal structures that spidererd perpendicular from the main lines. Once power was finally removed, the molten materials solidified into a bubbly, glassy silica rock. http://agatelady.blogspot.com/.../more-about-fulgurites.html

Old cemeteries never disappoint.
INTERNET SAYS “This is the very interesting grave marker of Thomas Toberman in the historic Prairie du Chien cemetery. (Please respect all cemetery rules posted at the entrance.) There is a lot of speculation about this unusual-looking stone and its origins. Whether the marker is a meteorite, a rare stone formation, or something else…I’ll leave you to decide for yourself after you see it. I hope you enjoy.
Before dying, Mr. Toberman requested that this unusual rock be used as his headstone in the cemetery. Permission was requested from the Evergreen cemetery board to place the stone. After permission was denied because it wasn’t a “real” engraved marker, it mysteriously showed up on his plot the following week.
Meteorite? According to an article published in a local newspaper (the Courier Press) a few decades ago, the marker is a meteorite that fell as a fireball on the deceased’s farm when he lived in the Prairie du Chien area. From the looks of it, it is easy to imagine that it came from outerspace and became deeply pitted as it burned through earth’s atmosphere.
Meteor-wrong? Another theory is that it is a rare stone formation that can only be found in 2 or 3 places in the world (the St. Croix valley in Wisconsin, someplace in China, and possibly someplace in Arizona). This theory is that it is made of limestone that was eroded into its current shape by swirling vortices of water. According to this story, Mr. Toberman discovered the rock in the St. Croix River valley while working there as a lumberjack.”.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/1576487499800058/?mibextid=NSMWBT

In situ significance: I live in a sandstone crater with overlapping ledges and yes it also has plasma holes and looks like where native people would have dwelt.

One of the best parts of field work is the unexpected.
Here's a #ThrowbackThursday to when #KGS geologist Steve Martin found a hominy hole while doing field work in western Hardin County, #Kentucky.

Fulgurite with central circle an electro magnetic circle, a proto plasma hole. June 28, 2024. Robert Jelinek Fulgurite from Kaltenbach/Vitis, Lower Austria. A saying goes: “Lightning never strikes the same place twice”. Lightning struck the exact same spot twice within a year. An unusual large fulgurite-like aggregate was found in July 2007, directly beneath a 20 kV high tension line. It comprised a main glass tube extending laterally over a distance of 5 m and a branching system of smaller tubes reaching a maximum depth of 1 m. The main mass of the fulgurite consists of bubble-rich, yellow-greenish and black glass. In places, more massive less vesicular glass exhibiting flow texture occurs. Preliminary investigations reveal that the glass body was formed via “in situ” melting of the local soil sediment, and that the formation of the fulgurite-like object is related to a lightning strike which occurred at the end of May 2007. Than on July 7, 2008, Alfred Weichselbraun discovered exactly on the same spot like last year, another fulgurite similar object. On the evening of July 6, 2008, a lightning strike caused a cable break in the Vitis area. This incident was also caused by a fire department operation and documented by recordings from the lightning location system. Remains of cables were found, melted in “fulgurite glass”.
