Matching the arcs. Plate/raft tectonics is incapable of making arcs and circles.
I call this a karst shadow. A ring left behind in cave formations. These craters are so big that they formed the banded iron deposits by impact resonance. Another Karst Map below while different it still shows a giant crater circle.

Mike Willma of Sturgis, Michigan found this specimen. It is a wispy fractal, a resonate energy running down the center as that is where resonance collects, the center of mass. But this is in formation, collecting the particles from the shock particle storm into groupings.
That is an impact surface. The white color is associated with high shock and will have a fine grain. The dark color is Fe3O4 black iron oxide which fell from the impactor bolide vaporization. The holes are impalements from the rain of spheres which have dissolved away as they were likely iron. Also impact slurry/plasma will have non mixed voids or holes because of thick less viscous material. Tobermory, Ontario Canada.
Also we have a mosaic heat crackle surface.
Botryoidal Impact Sphere, shock white limestone, great specimen! Rare. This is an impact relic from the Big Michigan Crater which takes up most of the state. It was the Earth's bedrock which was blasted out at such a high temperature it is bubbling. The surface designs are a high energy granular particle habit called "constellationing." They are in a tree fractal configuration which is a very high energy state. The little pits are the beginning of cindering/evaporation. The slight discoloration is the trace nano iron mist present in these large kinetic explosions coming from the meteor/bolide iron. April 12, 2023

Found in west Michigan. Need help identifying please
Impact sphere, a blasted composite from the impact excavation. The matrix appears to be a turbulent crypto crystalline structure. The burn marks on the outside are a type of lightning strike from the impact particle cloud which grounded to it as it flew through. Michigan is one giant crater by the way. So why does it make the geometric shapes? It is a function of the grounding energy, it is trying to disperse the charge. While quartz is a conductor the iron is better and the iron permeates the charged cloud making this an electro deposition as compared with a lightning charged burn. The core is penetrated by some iron as shown on the photo below in the top left. This all happened quickly.

I need help identifying. Found 5 ft. under an old mining railing pile from 100 years ago. It’s about 10 inches wide and weights at least 10 pounds.
Picture of inside broken open.
Relative sizes of the Michigan crater and the Rochester crater as shown on the karst mapping. The impact rubble creates voids that are the seed for water dissolution of the stones in the crater walls. So why do craters make karst circles? A crater pushes up a rubble crater wall which seeds the water dissolving karst process. Oct. 19, 2023.
Shatter cone triangle wave and cone wave. Shock metamorphic limestone. So why two wave form imprints? The wave energy is breaking up and has lost power on the secondary iteration. Why a free rock and not in a strata exposure? Liberated specimen or made that way? Who knows. Attached is a magnification of the secondary wave imprint. Dec. 30, 2023.

Found this last year near the flint area . Still not sure what it is but the pattern caught my attention.
So where is the crater that made the shatter cone? While the average state has about 2,000 surface craters of a mile diameter or greater (this calculation is based on Mars having over 600,000 surface craters and being half the Earth's size) Michigan is dominated by a single impact. See attached map. Dec. 30, 2023.
Physics forms - Nesting fractals, impact wave triangle wave cresting with multiple waves, high power. Variant of Pi/Pagoda wave imprints. See 2H: Pi/Pagoda wave | mysite (hillbillyu.com) A rare shock made type. (Energy balance theory) Wave form periodic, multiple triangle wave balance with energy communication connecting. Dec. 30, 2023. Here is one from Franklin, County, TN.
Soils as manufactured by impact craters - While the older Wisconsin crater and its soils are still present, the eastern state has Michigan crater manufactured soils and minerals.
Tubular heat bubbling from longer wavelength high heat. The larger tube formed first and the smaller are a secondary but from the same source high heat. It also has a high heat patina the purple. Jan. 20, 2024.

I found this “rock” on Lake Michigan a couple of weeks ago near Pier Cove. Does anyone have an idea of what it might be? It looks like a seed pod but is hard and heavy like a rock.
Boxwork central expansion Septarian - This may be a pancake type impact sphere. The agate like central nature of the impact geometrics indicates a resonate boundary expansion. These several expansions push against each other causing the geometrics to form. Feb. 17, 2024.

Anyone know what this is? Can’t seem to find anything similar
Barrel Impactite was shaped by iron plasma while in liquid plastic state. Basically, the plasma bubble passed through this shock made liquid limestone. The wave flow surface lines are a sign of it's liquid state. March 16, 2024.

Any ideas? Found while digging a footing for my pole barn!”
High energy melt matrix conglomerate. Pebbles melting together. The matrix is already melted pebbles. From Michigan. May 1, 2024.

Got my new rock cutter , we had a blast ! I
Think they turned out beautiful
All impacts are unique. Notice the different carbonizing patterns of these two large impacts. June 12, 2024.
Impact nodule conglomerate with impalements. This specimen illustrates a phase of the impact explosion process which was well underway at this point. The matrix is a nano particle clay made by the impact and shock compressed into a rock. The inclusions show crater lips surrounding and direction of impalement. A small piece of limestone is also an inclusion indicating the meteor/bolide was excavating the limestone bedrock at this point. The iron content includes a small sphere with an iron shell. That means the iron was made into a droplet. The iron came from the impacting bolide. Estimated size of impact would be anywhere from five miles to larger. However, Michigan is one big giant crater so smaller impacts can be hard to distinguish. Sept. 10, 2024.

Ive never seen anything like it . Any help in ID would be helpful. Non magnetic found in southwest michigan.
1. is the limestone shard. 2. is the iron shell sphere.
Lip/edge fractals indicating the direction of the explosion in reference to the specimen.
Impalement rim/crater edges around the inclusions. This side was a more direct hit from the pebbles. Sept. 10, 2024.
