Shatter Cones - Shatter Cones are made by shock waves. Shock waves are in dynamic change while they travel. A shatter cone is just one of many types of resonate body effects from a meteor impact.
Shattering the shatter cone deterministic. Shatter Cones are impact phenomena based on a shock metamorphic effect. At Howell, TN what is called crude shatter cones have been found. Crude shatter cones have distinct triangular outlines but are not highly striated internally. Charles Marsh Woodruff Jr. was the first to find these at Howell, TN. for his 1968 Master's Thesis. Turns out they are not crude at all just formed from a higher shock energy.
Catch the wave - Geology as a system study. The Howell Impact Structure was not mapped correctly. This is in part due to poor heuristics like shatter cones. Geology does not understand shatter cones.
The shock pressure wave is reforming the material it is passing through. There are many energy effects when translating so much potential energy. Not all of them are kinetic. Often an EMP is formed from friction including metals in a charged friction.
All impacts are unique. Looking for the same version of effect is a poor approach. Looking for a single rock signature is also a poor approach. Rocks, boulders, anomalies, terrain, faults and following the clues not forced typing is true investigative science.
For shatter cones a knowledge of the pressure wave is needed not an example typology. The pressure wave is compressing and expanding. As are sound waves. The fault signature across Lincoln and Giles counties in TN clearly shows this wave pointing to a center around Petersburg, TN which is why I usually refer to the crater as Howell/Petersburg. That is not the crater's center. It is a signature of the instant pressure wave at impact almost horrizontally so only the instant lateral vector of force. The faults are the shock wave overrunning the lower strata's ability to carry it, i.e. a sonic boom. It did this three times almost equally spaced. This means no slowing until sudden explosion. The explosion kept traveling because it is a moving lateral explosion, the only one to hit earth like it. The crater itself is visible from space, not the ground or helicopter.
The grain structure of various rocks around the crater are indicators of shock at that location although in a chaotic expansion large boulders can be thrown many miles. Following these grain shock signatures is more instructive than shatter cones. As a mocking example I took a shock uniform grain structure rock and impacted it to produce a beautiful shock cone which is only about 6 GPA of force. So a pressure wave strong enough to make it's structure uniform had passed through it without any macro wave pattern signature. That tells me something. To a cone hunter they would still know nothing because they are like gem hunters who don't know coal from diamonds, just looking for a rock not shock, or a boulder. Knock, knock.
The French Alps, a shatter cone, cone in cone structure writ large.
Earth Forming Impacts
His study is fifty years old and this location is now unknown. While Howell, TN is a location full of impact relics and what I consider to be a very hot zone for collecting samples; it is only a part of the larger event. Howell, TN has: boulders with the shocked breccia pipe which runs under craters. shocked mega clast, an impact structure of broken strata running under it until stopping, it is not exclusive. I have found shatter cone types two miles SW and two miles NW. This is consistent with a much larger than Howell, TN impacted area. Charles Marsh Woodruff Jr. in his thesis P. 22 wrote regarding Howell, TN presence of breccia "However, this writer has concluded that these "degrees" of deformation, which may be observed in traverses are not degrees at all (or are degrees in statistics only). They may be expressions of deformation. Indeed, even the presence of seemingly flat undisturbed rock units may not indicate that one is outside the deformed area, as zones of this type have been found well within the limits of structure (see Plate 1-B). It has been found that any of these expressions of deformations may be found surrounded by zones of seemingly normal rocks, and "normal" rocks are found within breccia zones. The breccia itself presents particular problems in description with regard to "degrees" of deformation. This complete breakdown of any use of categorized "degrees" of deformation, cause special problems to arise in trying to determine the structural limits. The fact is that often, with the surface information available, there are no clear cut limits, but only limits drawn by inference."
And inference is key to understanding the Howell, TN and surrounding structure. The structure itself infers that it is not like any other and finding a region of shock breccia limited previous researchers scope.
The above specimen was found on the shore of Lake Superior and is from one of those big earth impacts in that area. Besides the banding wave forms and constellationing it has a unique triangle inclusion that is cross banded with the white rectangle. Very curious.
Devil's Peek Wyoming. Look how well it is striated and the smaller multi cone base with tapering in upper section. Earth is an impact accretion with very large impacts which signature forms can latter be pushed up by tectonics or removal of material by erosion. It is better explained by impact tectonics as a single event causality. June 3, 2023.
Many impact structures do not have evidence of shatter cones. Typical shatter cones are a minor shock effect some distance from the impact energy center. A relic of the energy deforming the affected strata. They are present at the Wells Creek Structure in abundance. It was a later smaller more direct hit into dry land. The biggest shatter cones in the world is also the highest peek in the Continental United States Mt. Whitney and is not considered an impact structure. Look at how well it is striated, shown left. Also Devil's Peek Wyoming. How can shatter cones be a decision criteria? Oblique impacts have a shock wave that travels more horizontal. Impacts into seas use energy into liquid and wet sub sea sediment which do not produce shatter cones. Many materials do not produce shatter cones.
The shatter cones I have found around Howell, TN are from multiple new higher pressure harmonic effects, a divided effect but much more interesting as they show a higher shock energy in new ways.

Shown above is a meteor exploding over Beijing, China on Jan. 30, 2020. It is out running the shock waves, the famous "sonic boom" sequence but look how it is spaced. It is slightly slowing until it stops. Now look at the fault signature in the strata SW of Petersburg, TN. shown below. No slowing till exploding; this was a mighty force.
Shown above is Rainbow Obsidian.. Davis Creek.. California
Nevada basin impact. The resonance wave effect. You can see little bits of white specs on the lower outside. They are from the shock particle storm. This is a very high shock effect > 70 GPa
<<<Crater, big one!
The agates shown below are from the worlds biggest impact and were found in South Africa in the North West province, near the Vredefort impact crater. Shock Triangle Agates. The agates show a triangle harmonic energy of high power in a plasma state material as does the triangle wave pattern produced in the Howell area shown right.
Shatter cones shown here are from two miles SW of Howell, TN. They are outside the previous limits of the structure as reported. They caused me to re map the structure. This boulder is more interesting than shatter cones themselves. The boulder shows triangle and saw tooth wave forms vertically. The boulder also shows step ledges producing the cones. Typical shatter cones show one type of wave propagating an energy densely into boulders at various wave heights. The material being deformed affects the cones produced. While this is a blast effect it only shows a single wave form.
As described in text Shatter coning is a lower pressure effect of 2 to 30 GPa. Well 30 GPa is a high pressure. The boulder shown above is already in full melt a high pressure signature of 60 to 100 GPa. It has glassy inclusions. This boulder should be in the Smithsonian Institution if the practice of geology were not in the Galian Body Humors era.
Wave harmonic frequency as shown by nano particle size separation in the wave. Shock waves change as they travel. In this case as a micro carrying density.
The Trigon Pattern is found in diamonds. This pattern is a constant through many substances. It is a shock made pattern, the triangle wave harmonic.
Shown above is rainbow tourmaline but look at that triangle. It all appears to be a crisp border that can separate minerals in it's wave. It also has the particle patterns studied on this page I call constellationing. https://www.hillbillyu.com/constellationing
Vredefort Crater Impact Stata - The "Tigers Eye" is an in between second order chaos off harmonic between the main wavelengths being imprinted. It also is making a sign wave which is an organized rebounding harmonic between the main shock wavelengths. If more developed it would have made "shatter cones." But, alas tis is just overpowered. Waves organize with distance as they will combine. Specimen by:
Brendon von Bargen
Any idea what this is? South Africa North West province
Another concentric triangle wave shown below.
Patagonian agate 2 5/8" x 2 1/8", half nodule, full skin. Chromatography and unusual pattern. Fluorescent. Chubut Province, Argentina.
The above boulder shows three shock waves. A lateral step which got larger and smaller therefore of a dying harmonic and vertical waves within the lateral steps of two wave forms, saw tooth and triangle. Bounding inside the lateral wave has not been previously observed in shatter coning. The whole boulder has been shocked making it liquid to be deformed into this rare example.
The image above is a look to the right of the SW boulder and shows the triangle wave form. It also shows the step ledges. While it is believed that shatter cones point in the directional source of shock, these angles vary pointing both up and toward the oblique impact. As an expression of an explosion edge, it is likely both directional energies were present, as well as a step wave. Shatter coning is produced by pressure wave forms traveling and are not a direction of impact but a directional traveling wave form.
The extraordinary cone below is a type never before seen. It is located two miles NW of Howell, TN. It is in a quarried bolder used for an original homestead circa early 1800's. Once again the boulder carries an energy resolving in a strange cone. The cone looks like a tree stump with roots for the cone shape. As large impacts cause electromagnetic pulses, this could be the resolving of an electromagnetic charge, branching like lighting.
The Fractal Cone - 2nd off cone structure. Fractal tree to cone is a shape harmonic progression quanta as are the branches of a fractal.

Now let's take a look at the removed cone up close.
Shatter cone text: Traces of catastrophe:
>2 GPa to 30 GPa) shatter cones
Shatter cones may also contain distinctive microdeformation features.
>35 GPa to 60 GPa Selective partial melting of individual minerals, typically feldspars. Increasing destruction of original textures.
>60 GPa to 100 GPa Complete melting of all minerals to form a superheated rock melt (see Chapter 6). The fine powder grain size is more shocked than the typical shatter cone! It cleaved along it's outside shape. It has iron passing through it i.e. rock in a liquid state. Rather than "crude shatter cone" it is a high shock shatter cone. The mechanism is fluid like making striation wrinkling smooth. Also instead of horsehair type wrinkles it is making tubes. Shatter coning is a frequency pressure wave harmonic. The more power it has the more fluid it's expression i. e. triangle, sawtooth, parallel as shown in the above boulder.
Striations are like fractals, they branch as they lose power. The meteor was high metal and exploded in the bedrock as shown by the equal distant (10 mile) arc faults. This high energy instant explosion made smooth high shock shatter cones and other wave forms. The center of the crater is at Frankewing, TN ten miles from cone bolder.
Shocked quartz also exhibits the triangle wave pattern on a micro scale.
Shown above is a shock particle storm forming into a triangle. It is from Khomas Region, Nambia the world's largest oldest impact. Malachite on Cuprite
Shown above is a meteorite with shock particles forming into triangles but is called Widmanstatten effect. http://www.arizonaskiesmeteorites.com/Widmanstatten/
Completing the wave form is a very high shock condition. Like the shatter coning in the Frankewing, TN crater the elements are in a more fluid state and able to react to the shock harmonic with great resonance. The specimen above is from Madagascar. Second iteration specimen. 12/22/2023.
Pass through round inclusion with iron from meteor itself >>
Iron vapor condensate deposit from meteor itself >>>>>
Low power horse hair striations want to become a round wave tube as shown right here with the power turned up.
The crystal impactite; a shock made resonance structure. Besides the trace indications of the granular shock particle storm surface and the migrating of the nano purple metal to the resonate exteriors, look at the triangle wave form against the other completing surfaces. This was formed quickly with competing wave harmonics. From Arkansas, USA.
Flatirons in the Serranía de Hornocal , Argentina. Now you can read a long convoluted discussion on how this formation occurred if you want. This is what I think. Since the prevailing theory is that the earth formed by combined impacts sticking together like play dough or chewing gum some of that record pops up to the surface in the mountain building tectonics. These are wave forms from a large shock harmonic, very large. One of the big impacts that built up the planet. That explains the shapes and the minerals, which are present in a nano type form i. e. highly pulverized. Of particular note is the coning within coning a sub harmonic sequence, a wave within a wave both of same type but amplitude different.
Now here it is again, in diamond the triangle wave "trigon" in various amplitudes only this time as a photo micrograph picture. Funny how diamonds are found around big craters like in South Africa.
Shown below is an experimental model of the branching fractal secondary shatter cone morphology. While a lot of what the authors of this study understand is wrong, they got this fundamental right! You can read their article at: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2004JB003016?fbclid=IwAR39MzzT6wWQdV2mvUZ6E-BAmj0vHxC3AvPgpCfEqsjciGytv8VrPeDvud4
Specimen above is Quartz coated in Chalcedony with Dendrites from the Los Parajitos Mine Spain. The whole body is a fast formed structure. Large crystal resonate made. Dendrites are a fast formed fractal unable to make a third dimension they ae formed so fast. The whole specimen is a second iteration coning fractal. You can read about dendrites at: https://www.hillbillyu.com/fast-formed-fractal
Shown left is a shatter cone in quartz i. e. impact sand and meteor explosion iron landing on it i.e. a splatterform. https://www.hillbillyu.com/impact-pollockite-splatterform
High shock specimen from Lake Logan, TN shown at left has "tubular" cleaving along fracture plane. It also has the shock particle storm surface. https://www.hillbillyu.com/constellationing
Lateral conical wave development shown in the specimen from Australia shown above. It tracks from top to bottom. It has similarities to the cone in cone wave rebounding from a center density shift. The frequency of the shock wave harmonic separates the carrying particles but as you can see the same frequency is banded by resonance. As this was highly shock melted and contains iron from the meteor the relic is a record of the dying harmonic as a totality of it's form unlike a fractal which is a discrete representation.
The Syrian desert cones as presented for identification on line. This is the meteor making shatter cones in itself in the sand. A harmonic already present during the early explosion sequence. Also notice they are pointing down to a stopping plane wave. As shown in the two specimens above is a cone tunnel wave form that breaks up toward the cone tip.
.jpg)
And here is the big Texas size crater as shown on the geology anomaly map. And guess what? It has flat iron shatter cones as well. The metamorphic sharpening stones are mined in them. A shock metamorphic containing sand. Just like I often find here in the Frankewing Crater.
See the iron inclusions? That is blasted out of the meteor in the explosion.
It is not just the shatter cone type wave, it's just waves. The pebble I picked up on my walk around the lake is a sine wave resonance around a center mass.
.jpg)
Specimen above is from Norway. It has fractal coning in multi directions as shown in the illustration below. It also shows the primary energy trace through the center. Both specimens above are a total fractal of dispersing energy. Similar in overall reducing cone type shape. Resonance forms are separated by density. That is how the crystals above were made so fast. Density aligned.
See the rebounding waves pointing up from the bottom. That is the cone in cone process with dampening. Also notice the crossing lines these could be a reflecting energy in quartz hypervelocity linear plasma from the left as the fractal branches to the right. https://www.hillbillyu.com/thin-plane-insertion
While it is commonly held that shatter cones point toward the direction of impact that is incidental. The shock wave travels through whatever media is present, in this case itself. In the explosion matrix it was also producing the fractal wave laterally which also represents an energy traverse. So it is a direction meaning this specimen is part of the explosion so near it is exploding beside it to the left.
Vortex cone nesting - You can see the shatter cone effect in reverse in this hurricane picture. Never mind the whole thing is a fractal the compression engine is making the energy forms called shatter cones.
Specimen below is a cone in cone structure as shown on Wiki with the wrong explanation of course. This is a triangle wave with a resonate return. And this is not a low energy effect as shatter cones are typed. Shatter coning is an energy wave phenomena of various typology. Note the particle surface.

Since a shatter cone is a fractal and fractals are energy branching or dispersion the reverse is as a building energy form.
This is a fractal formed mountain, therefore a resonate body. Fractals are the dissipation of energy, they break up by branching. This is also a shatter cone energy from. It has a vertical striation sequence to the left. You could think of nesting triangles as fractal trees.
Ries crater in Germany shattercones. This crater was worked by the famed Eugene Shoemaker. Notice the iron transition wave and the micro dot construction. As an energy analysts it would be first particle storm, nano iron particles somewhat inclusive and then coning wave.
So this means the impact had already produced the particle cloud before or during the coning wave.
What a fun hobby this is. The rock to the left is from Nevada, which I believe to be a very large impact basin. I also believe the strange squares to be a shock harmonic form never seen before but hey who really investigates these things. Is no funding for it. Anyway take the chevron wave pictured above and left side of page and imagine a feed back loop like the cone in cone process and you have the "L7 wave form a square.
Pectolite is a white to gray mineral, NaCa2Si3O8(OH), sodium calcium hydroxide inosilicate. It crystallizes in the triclinic system typically occurring in radiated or fibrous crystalline masses. It has a Mohs hardness of 4.5 to 5 and a specific gravity of 2.7 to 2.9. The gemstone variety, larimar, is a pale to sky blue. Specimen is from central western Oregon. It is a cone in cone harmonic banded sequence. You can see the likely crater that produced it in this geology anomaly map of Oregon shown below.
More recently, Sagy et al. (19, 20) proposed that shatter cones are dynamic fractures produced by nonlinear front waves that propagate along a fracture front. In this model, shatter cones are not actually cones but rather spoon-like branched fracture surfaces. This model clearly cannot explain our observation of complete cones and cones with apices pointing in opposite directions, including spectacular double cones
This is from the Canadian Crater Big Shots article about shatter coning. Sadly this is the clueless rejecting those that have one.

Mountain again - see it is the wave form not a specialty rock limited to small specimens.
So what we got here is iron inclusions and an un transformed fossil and oh yea, shatter cones. Notice they are not cones per se but cone series i.e. a coning waveform. Let's take a closer look.
Catch of the day from a creek bed in North Carolina, USA. That is a shock resonate form of impactite. That is the triangle coning type wave in full expression. I have not seen one expressed just like it before. The red is iron, the green is shock olivine, the inclusions are from the shock particle storm and the bands are linear constellationing.
This specimen shown right is from Mt. Ida, Arkansas, USA. It goes with the discussion on left side. It is a second iteration coning structure in quartz. Notice the linear constellationing. A fast resonate form. This is a transition form, not as clear as the one shown left with the dendrites.
Shell fossil >>>>
Beading >>>>
Shock Strata with coning variance.
Vancouver,Canada.
Architect Amey Kandalgaonkar played with brutalist design techniques to craft this unique concrete home.
Coning variance is caused by the ending harmonic flow through the tailing off mass. Shock follows the density paths. This being a triangle wave but not a pure harmonic, it has multiple wave forms.
Specimen above is from Serbia. Since it contains a triangle wave, and a circle wave so close now I am thinking that is a banding wave that runs down the rock left of center. Very important is not only do we have three frequencies in full expression in so small an area but notice how the outer edges are feathering by loss of pure harmonic power.
Organized chaos, the build through coning wave. Emerge shock flow, inclusions from the explosion and an as yet unaltered fossil. Cones do not point toward the impacting bolide but along a carrying stream as you can see the slight shift left at the top of the coning wave point. An energy harmonic in rock which is not as uniform as air.
And now for something completely different. From UAE. This is shock glass with a high shock coning wave which looks more triangular i.e. a chevron wave, and cross shock. It also has constellationing which is interesting because of the high shock which tends to melt particles. It is however a characteristic of impact relics that no two impacts are the same and diversity within a specimen is part of the many divergent energies present in a shock chaos storm. You could even have canceling energy meeting at the constellationing area. This is a valuable rock; too bad so few realize that. Could be from this multiple impact described in the Encyclopedia Britannica: Wabar Craters, group of meteorite craters discovered in 1932 in the Rubʿ al-Khalī desert of Saudi Arabia. The largest crater is 330 feet (100 m) in diameter, 40 feet (12 m) deep, partially filled with sand, and thought to be an explosion crater (formed from an explosion on impact). A crater located 0.6 mile (1 km) northwest is about half the size of the main crater and is thought to be two partially superimposed craters. Two others in the area are completely filled with sand. Fused silica glass and tiny globules of nickel-iron have been found near the main crater.
The Serbian Crater>
<<< Coning/chevron wave is pointing up, cross shock is lateral.
<<< Constellationing, also some in lower left. But look at the directional line change here in the right side. This is such a unique specimen.
Interesting cleavage planes. even more cross shock indicated.
This is beyond gemstone, it belongs in a museum. It has a 3D appearance of depth like you are looking into a cave.
Recognize, analysis - recognalysis - This is a coning lateral harmonic. a striation pattern. a low shock shattercone? no. a fossil snail.

dendrite linear fractal in coning phase. The "Energy Dome" a hat fashion created by DEVo.
Ah but here it is again in high shock and high resonance. But it also has cone in cone. Fossil Horn Coral. Ft. Worth, TX area collected by Tammy Pritchett
Shown below is muscovite star mica. it is an iterative solution to coning triangel wave form
I really like this specimen. Never seen one like it! It is an impactite from some probably as yet to be identified crater (Origon, USA). The shock flow is vertical, from bottom to top perhaps. There is a dendrite section in between. These are fast formed fractals that do not have time to form the third crystal dimension. Also a particle storm product from the explosion. The mixed direction of the top crystal forms is from the chaos of bouncing harmonic energies as the crater shock bounces around, trying to make shatter cones.
Citrine Shattercone Dhaka, Bangladesh.
While striation is a lower power effect in quartz it would be a high GPa
Shown above is a petrified tree trunk, right? Wrong. It is a shatter cone from a large impact in Western Australia.
Shown above is an 800 magnification of an ore specimen found in Western US in an ore region. While it was posted just for identification of the ore i. e. perhaps gold, it's real value is the presentation of striation. At this scale the particles are aligning. Linear Constellationing. As it is an inclusion it came from another part of the shock particle storm. The surrounding matrix is in a more usual pattern.
Baffin Island Canada - This is thought to be an igneous sequence. It has chevron triangle wave forms and a quartz thin plane insert crossing that harmonic. Never mind it forms a basin as any wall section of a crater close up will appear to be a crater form as happened to the geologist working the Howell, TN Impact Structure.
Coning Fractal Tree >>>
The Fractal Sphere - Notice how the fractal can drop into a sphere and pick back up into an ever smaller line.
Cone Melt - Coning can melt just like the rest of the material.
A coning sphere. High shock linear constellationing and the second iteration coning fractal. But it appears that the coning wave can stop and form a sphere. Furthermore, in this article on fractal spheres it appears they are time variable with shortest time making the smallest nano sphere. https://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/acs.chemmater.9b03864/suppl_file/cm9b03864_si_001.pdf
The high shock harmonic surface makes a smooth edge and the cones will break off. You can see the flow toward the tip. John Savage collection. Could this be a saber tooth fossil? Yes. Could the tooth be fossilized by impact replacement? Yes. With an estimated 25,000 earth surface craters of 5 miles diameter or more it is bound to happen.

The chevrons shown above are from a large impact. One that was melted into the entire sphere. A forming accretion. This would be the same type of shock wave form as "shattercones." On earth this would be the flatiron sections you see on mountains.
Miranda - the smallest of Uranus' five main moons, but… Miranda has the most complex geological structures of any of the satellites on the planet. It was discovered by Gerard Kuiper in 1948.
this is a composite image of Miranda's southern hemisphere. portions of the surface presumably show older crater terrain with a relatively uniform albedo (reflectivity), but other presumably younger egg-shaped and chevron-shaped regions have light and dark complex bands of unknown originscarp ridges (rocks possibly caused by faults).nASA, JPL, Voyager 2, A.Tayfun Oner)
Impact shattercone in second iteration branching - The repeating chevron pattern is a coning or triangle wave from high shock. The white color is also from high shock which refines it to a white flour look. This process also tends to temper them and some will even clink when hit. The surface has particles from the shock particle storm. Michelle Weaver, Abilene, TX USA
coning fans
As you know a wave does not have size limits is just about holding the frequency while you turn the power up. So check out the little specimen from a small earth impact and Madagascar from earth forming impact.
Now this is interesting. A coning projectile. It was found in Laguna, Philippines.
Wheelerton, TN is a 1910 era railroad town along the train tracks and the Elk River. These specimens are shatterconing fractals. A very high state of shock. Very metamorphic. Wave energy will define it's wave borders and cleavage will take place along those fracture planes showing internal matrix patterns.
Non harmonic form - You can also see this form as a removal pattern like dissolving or sand blasting.
Spray fan - this is a too weak to form shattercon phenomena. The matrix is still in the not melted granular particle state. The overall crash4orm is a fractal which is an energy dispersal wave form. Wheelerton, TN.
The Cone in Cone fractal flow >>>>>
Found at Ridley Creek State Park west of Philadelphia by Kamry Wanner. That is a zone between the large Chesapeake Bay Impact and the nameless smaller impact in South Central PA. I call this phenomena "Cone Flow." See the cone in cone fractal flow? I like specimens like this because you learn more from the developing and transition types. This is conflict of resonate power. The material and wave form are not homogenous enough. This is common and why I call impactites "crash4orms."
Overlapping striated coning - Here we have the idea of a coning crystal structure, or is it? Marian Hussman collected this in backyard along with a lot of other crash4orms. Tsavorite or tsavolite is a variety of the garnet group species grossular, a calcium-aluminium garnet with the formula Ca3Al2Si3O12.[2] Trace amounts of vanadium or chromium provide the green color.
Fan fractal a coning type in cross pattern direction dispersions. Top side shows blocking fractal sequence. This is a rare if not unique specimen collected by Ukin Ajidin in Indonesia.
Resonate circle coning - While the circle harmonic is often expressed in multiple presentation on specimens this one shows a coning size increase. That would make it a fractal as it is a energy dissipaion form. This is a high metamorphic fossil however. specimen collected by Ukin Ajidin in Indonesia.
Physics waves and particles. The construction of light and atomic particles has been a consideration of the nature of waves and particles at atomic and subatomic levels. However right in front of your eyes it this same interaction which has never been pondered. That is till now. Take a look at the twining triangle wave in the overlapping harmonic. Great that was a shock wave that settled into the triangle wave form making these beautiful amethyst crystals found in Peru. The surface has grouping of the shock particle storm with the common particle gathering and connecting via shock viscous pressure melt. Ahh, but the crystals themselves show the same, a particle combining and melt. It is another overlapping physics in the visible realm.
Quartz Brazil - Constellationing patterns on the surface from a shock particle storm. The presence of a strong triangle wave harmonic. You see this shock altered change to quartz crystal habit in the presence of strong harmonics. The specimen below is making cubic forms in its inner most interior. Found here at Lake Logan, TN.

Coning wave but with lateral striations. Resisted wave forms are running out of energy and appear like energy dispersal mechanisms. This specimen was found at Bakkhali Sea beach, West Bengal, India where a crater is located according to the German World Crater Map. Notice the sine wave form. This is common to the "Tiger's Eye" gemstone also.
From Morocco collected by Mohamed Bouzelfen. Triangle wave with striation. High shock.

Twining & wave echo
Well, Is a lot going on here. specimen from India. first the background striation is a separate wave harmonic. the triangle wave is in a final imprinting in this natural ruby. while a strong pattern it is breaking up and shifting it's harmonic. the saw tooth form is an illustration of that "twinning." the repeat triangle is an echo of the wave form.
Western Colorado cone in cone "Shatter Coning" sequence. Specimen belongs to Nicole Zahniser. It is also "over shocked" which has gassed out some of it's material leaving it brittle. You can also see it's Zebra banding harmonic breaking into fractals below.
Fractal Tree Trunks >>>>
The Fractal harmonic branches from a higher energy state "the trunk" as a fractal is an energy dissipation form.
Photo by Teri Swaggerty Douglas Dam area crater. Cone in cone with offset. The only one I have ever seen. The horizontal striations are a separate harmonic. The cobalt is from the meteor.
Shown above is a man made explosion shattercone. But this is just too funny. They do not realize this rock was shock made. You can tell that by the constellationing patterns on the bolder beside it. Anyway these radial harmonic triangle waves illustrate the cone structures typically regarded as shatter cones are at a lower frequency usually rounded on ends and not as densely metamorphic. Nice fractal trunk and branching shown in bottom section. Fractals are the remaining energy resolving it's self. It is the next lower state of energy after the coning wave. Now take a look at the impact spheres shown below.
Shown below is a crater on Mars. Notice how it goes from hexagons i.e. basalt columns like the Giant's Causeway, then to the coning as a triangle fractal with changes in it's power as it radiates outward. This was a high speed hit direct.
Coning Tube Harmonic in very clear Indonesian Agate. Notice the bulges in these spires. That is a second order harmonic. Impact harmonics are a liquid physics, now look at the up splash from diving into lake, same phenomena. Glass shown left is showing second order harmonics from bullet puncture.

Ukin Ajidin of Ceylon. Geode like specimen with high resonance around the center of mass but then breaks into a coning wave form.
The Intermittent Coning Wave
Ever practice music scales? This is multiple scales. It is shifting harmonic amplitude as a fractal iteration. see the long arms then the triangles? That long arm is a larger triangle wave i.e. harmonic scale shift. Notice this is different than the shatter cone harmonic iteration shown above. This is in multi expression. Multi pure waves and at multi time, also it is a collapse expression not a blossom.
So same guy Ron Eldridge goes back and finds this specimen. I named a Tepee Agate. So why does it make a vertical striated triangle and square? This is a multi harmonic with the inverted triangle too. It is imprinting the same wave simultaneously but a little moved in space. It also has blended crossing. It is resonating the minerals into the lines as they would attenuate the harmonic.
Beach rock from Somerset UK. Besides the shock particle storm matrix this specimen has "Bell Banding." That is the crossing shock pattern from a constrained environment meeting in a central focus. The specimen also contains nano iron and cobalt which are typical of the large earth impacts.
Scott Howard specimen. Multi triangle wave expression. It makes you wonder if early man did not copy this type of phenomena design for painting caves, pottery, making blankets etc. The triangles inside triangles are making an octave quanta shift. The saw tooth is an off wave harmonic.
So here is the cone in cone as a crater wall on Mars. Valles Marineris rift valley side wall showing chevron-shaped fault blocks - this wall is up to 4 miles deep! Grand Canyon in AZ is only 1 mile deep
Chevron folding in geological strata at Millook Haven, Cornwall, UK. Interesting how the idea of "old earth" comes from a land that was made in an instant. I use event time; it works much better. This would be the last event at this location besides the growth of plants on soil, which is under rated as a geology study.
Gullies on Mars form during the winter, made liquid by carbon dioxide frost. NASA photo. Never mind this may or may not be what NASA says it to be; this is a cone in cone structure. It is also striated. It has crackle septarian surfaces too. It has cross fractals. As NASA or earth geologist do not understand impact physics phenomena I seriously doubt their conclusion.
This is an in between striation to melt with harmonic coning and crystallization. It also seems to be making an iterative perpendicular harmonic. This is very rare. John Jones in Kimball, Nebraska. This has high metal content also. Is it a meteorite or impactite? Not sure.
Layering theory and striation. Conventional theory is that strata striation is a sedimentary effect. Of course not all sedimentary rock is layered. Physics wave theory is that wave phenomena bands. Multiple waves will band because they will cancel or amplify. While it is unclear how much water Mars ever had this strata is impact crater shock wave made striation.
This is a "one off" shatterconing specimen. The conditions were just right to make it. Is a cone in cone chevron triangle wave but is in a density harmonic which favors the iron where resonance is concentrating. Jim Hemenway collection.
Pure harmonic third order iterative coning. Wow.
It is a grounding signature fractal. The magnified particle signature is more Turing than shock but this was high charge and grounded it. The charge was moving and stopped here. While not technically a charge, shock behaves in a similar wave phenomena.
Energy dissipation - You often see figures in rocks I explain as "energy dissipation." Shock as a wave form like electricity does not instantly stop. In WW1 The Germans were tapping the British trench telegraphs by picking up the grounding currents. They would even turn theirs off every other hour to get clear signals.
Tesla even knew you could transmit electricity through the air and ground, and made it his great work to attempt it. https://www.gchq.gov.uk/information/communications-security-in-1916-the-la-boisselle-find

Square crystal polymorph shock harmonic - Compressed bubbles will make geometric shapes. It is from an earth crust breaking impact centered near Winston County. Specimen collected by Savannah Whisnant of Gadsden, AL. This is to show that the wave forms do not have to be a single geometric shape like shatter cones. In craters you will see bricking in the strata. this is a wave harmonic effect.

Little shatter cone >>>>>>
Impactite. High silica with shock directional flow from bottom to top. The exterior has impact iron, this arrived later in the forming sequence explosion. This is a fast formed type crystal but in a rapid cooling. the center and one side are going into a coning sequence (shatter cone) the major energy sequence however is a fractal tree like lightning. Wave phenomena will shift from tree to circle or cone as it is an imprinting of the shock wave. Found in Maine by Kial Dionne

What you are seeing here is shock wave imprinting. Now in an actual impact emergency the earth is made plasma/liquid by the much higher shock and imprints the wave forms which are then congealed into shattercones, etc. In this example is two sources of the shock waves. This being a sphere we have the opportunity for constrained bounce back, which is what you can often see with a shock made agate. Combined figure harmonic. Cross striation and cone, there is two figures in this harmonic, now although this disk is contained the larger figure made by the expanding striations is probably also a cone. Pulses within pulses.

Composite Coning Inclusion. Rare. Same material. Note the cone dimples on top. Robert Murin collection.
Shock obsidian with carnelian and quartz triangle. Directional inclusion in quartz, a smear, not a resonate wave. Erik Gordon specimen.
The in between phase is going into a second order harmonic. This is the capture you so often see as a shattercone. It makes a seal around the shape before making another or advancing to an octave shift. Impact wave forms are in a development. In the power of shock wave it is conducting through various media changing it's wave structure. Now in the same media as shown with the sonic boom it can indicate wave transition in a single variable form. The three arc waves of the Frankewing, TN crater are such a form traveling in a same strata and breaking the carrying speed of the strata.
Carol Hughes specimen found in the Wells Creek impact area, TN. This is a transition to a second order coning fractal. Very , very rare.
Orthoclase in twinning crystal pattern. This is found on Mars, it is a pure harmonic frequency although overlapping. While models of Tetrahedron Fractals branch in all directions, shock is a source direction.

Shatterconing with variable harmonic - Shock wave frequencies like looking at an oscilloscope. Besides the triangle wave you can see a sawtooth wave and a fractal tree break up of the signal. The impact caused the separation of the calcite and has left an Fe3O4 black iron oxide from the bolide in an alternating wave harmonic pattern. Look close at the patterns.

The Colorful Walls of an Exposed Impact Crater on Mars
Impact craters have been called the “poor geologists’ drill,” since they allow scientists to look beneath to the subsurface of a planet without actually digging down. It’s estimated that Mars has over 600,000 craters, so there’s plenty of opportunity to peer into the Red Planet’s strata – especially with the incredible HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) camera on board the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter which has been orbiting and studying Mars from above since 2006.
·
False strata and the ballistic mechanism - Shock is a wave and ripples are to be expected like the classic pebble striking water observation. It is a "harmonic." Impact is a progressive event. In this example the shock has made false strata blast material from the impacting bolide and the continuing kinetic event has imprinted over the shatterconing (triangle wave) as part of the up splash when you see the pebble water impact. Why is a pebble water impact so illustrative? Because the shock makes the impactor bolide a liquified mass as well as the surface in the instant unloading pressure. Why is this crater specifically illustrative? Because it is a small ballistic impact at a steep angle. Small craters are statistically likely to be at capture speed, about 15 miles per second. The physics of the larger early accretion impacts is more complex often with high density and impact speeds 30+ miles per second.
This is not a drill it is a splash.

You often see the sawtooth wave form in shock made harmonics. You can see it in strata and rocks. The wave end propagation state makes an edge/cleaving plane as it makes a constant pulse stop edge. Here is a study in the wave shift behavior:

When M- or L-cone-isolating sawtooth waveforms flicker at frequencies between 4 and 13.3 Hz, there is a mean hue shift in the direction of the shallower sawtooth slope. Here, we investigate how this shift depends on the alignment of the first and second harmonics of sawtooth-like waveforms. Below 4 Hz, observers can follow hue variations caused by both harmonics, and reliably match reddish and greenish excursions. At higher frequencies, however, the hue variations appear as chromatic flicker superimposed on a steady light, the mean hue of which varies with second-harmonic alignment. Observers can match this mean hue against a variable-duty-cycle rectangular waveform and, separately, set the alignment at which the mean hue flips between reddish and greenish. The maximum hue shifts were approximately frequency independent and occurred when the peaks or troughs of the first and second harmonics roughly aligned at the visual input-consistent with the hue shift's being caused by an early instantaneous nonlinearity that saturates larger hue excursions. These predictions, however, ignore phase delays introduced within the chromatic pathway between its input and the nonlinearity that produces the hue shifts. If the nonlinearity follows the substantial filtering implied by the chromatic temporal contrast-sensitivity function, phase delays will alter the alignment of the first and second harmonics such that at the nonlinearity, the waveforms that produce the maximum hue shifts might well be those with the largest differences in rising and falling slopes-consistent with the hue shift's being caused by a central nonlinearity that limits the rate of hue change.

Physicists create new state of matter from quantum soup of magnetically weird particles
By Ben Turner published 2 days ago
The new phase of matter could be used to design even better quantum computers.

The new material works by forming triangles out of an atom's spin states. (Image credit: Phillip Tur via Shutterstock)
Scientists have spotted a long hypothesized, never-seen-before state of matter in the laboratory for the first time.
By firing lasers at an ultracold lattice of rubidium atoms, scientists have prodded the atoms into a messy soup of quantum uncertainty known as a quantum spin liquid.
The atoms in this quantum magnetic soup quickly became connected, linking up their states across the entire material in a process called quantum entanglement. This means that any change to one atom causes immediate changes in all of the others in the material; this breakthrough could pave the way for the development of even better quantum computers, the researchers said in a paper describing their findings Dec. 3 in the journal Science.
Shown above is a specimen from the Rome, Georgia, USA area. It is both a thin plane insertion and a triangle wave construct. It also has a beautiful nano metal patina from the meteor vapor. It is not a pure triangle wave; it represents the harmonic chaos of frequency from an impact explosion resolving resonances.
Waves to background noise theory - A combined summation harmonic, noise. The universe and all it's sub structures are in a system of resonance. Each and every harmonic will try to sync into a summary harmonic. When you see waves on water as an agitator unless it is random the water waves will sync. The slapping metal balls will sync as they are affected by the general system summary of harmonics. Note, this is a linear constrained experiment construction.
This is such a nice physics example. Did it pass through energy or did energy pass through it? It is an impactite not a meteorite. This all happened quickly with very high power, much more than earth entry type of energy. The surface shows a progressive explosion splatter. The core is a type of shatter cone. It is in a slight off harmonic triangle wave cone of great power. I like seeing these physics examples. They are what remains as the center is vaporized to an energy plasma, so this specimen was somewhere just outside of that.
To some extent you are seeing the saw marks but the pass through is clearly evident from the exterior progressive splatter. I prefer to break them and let them show the stress cleavage which is another level of information.
Shatter cone impalement structure. The cone was made closer to the impact center and blasted outward as a progressive explosion event. Specimen collected by: David Narvaez of Iceland.
Now this is important, the macro structure is a shatter cone. You can see the two point chevrons down and a nested up thinner cone chevron and then a vague one in the top. It is a harmonic with bounce reflection. Lunar sample 60025. 60025.pmd (nasa.gov) 60025.pmd (nasa.gov)
A crystal pattern in the presence of noise shock harmonic. While you do see the triangle patterns it is making various habits i.e. multi harmonic shock which is actually typical of explosions. It is a reference to distance as the shock waves overtake each other and conform to a system harmonic with distance like you see with a low pressure striated triangle wave shatter cone.
Shatter cone structures and Sonic boom ledge made by the shock wave as it overtook the carrying capacity of the material to carry that much wave energy. While these horizontal strata can be mistaken for a sedimentary boundary, they are a high-speed structure. All the material is a liquid plasma made metamorphic consisting of the nano particle bolide and the terrain it hit like a drop hitting water with an up drop.

Another Mars Crater notice these large coning structures are fluid without striations and demarked edges. This is due to the higher power of the shock wave. While banding is shown here it is different from a sonic boom. This is the bolide vaporized material separated out as a now refined material. Not a previous strata, as you can see it fractal upward with the up blast.

Not a fossil, coning structure. I know it is flow type not traditional. Tree fractal type points. The triangle harmonic can resemble this to a degree. Specimen found by Jim Kingdon.
Rare. Agate type melt coning nodule from earth impact. Valuable. It looks like that because the shock energy came from the bottom and distributes upward. Kico Pancho Gallardo Some would say this is a pine cone fossil.
The up blast from an impact. Pure triangle coning is a developed harmonic that settles down with distance. This is closer in and contains a high silica content dispersed with a banding color from minerals that may have been from the bolide. The crossing cut lines are another harmonic, a step harmonic showing its bandwidth. Unknow location. Jared Gilbert.

Square waves. A deadly phenomenon in Europe ...
They may look nice, but they are very dangerous. We are talking about square waves, which can happen both in the open sea and near the shore. Square waves are created when the wind meets water. .the unusual phenomenon creates a checkerboard effect at sea. The water then looks like a grid made of squares.
From a bird's eye view or from a distance, the view can be enchanted. The water appears to be gentle and mild. In fact, square waves are similar to the tides, which is very dangerous. .have already caused many ship sinkings. It is virtually impossible to escape from the water when these types of waves occur, and there is one area in Europe where this phenomenon occurs very frequently. I am talking about the island of Re on the west coast of France. .it is connected with the mainland by a three-kilometer bridge.
A harmonic propagation, these feedback loops also plagued the Saturn 5 rocket engine by the way.
One instability in rocket thrust causes the next, then it sets up an oscillation frequency. This causes a fear of using them at full power.
You might recall that the V1 operated on this principle. The solution is to regain control of the harmonic by setting up a gain to ever higher frequencies until it appears to be smooth. It did not matter if one pulse differed as the harmonic was the same only amplitude would change.
.jpg)
Does the universe favor quanta and waves? Yes. Take for example the sonic boom. The wave energy exceeds the carrying capacity of the conductive material which causes an explosion as it is now releases at once. Yet, the next step is the energy reorganizes itself into a new wave and repropagates until the same sequence happens again. Note the sonic boom is an explosion cone, also a harmonic which will repeat.

And that brings us back to the Howell Crater the most unique in the world. A tangent impact setting up a lateral shock wave which made three sonic booms in the carrying bedrock. Howell is just an exposed breccia pipe along the crater wall. The cone mapping of the sonic boom progression is also a cone, meta form.

Impact is a progressive event. The matrix is made of the shock particle storm. It was very very hot and the arriving surface of more mineral rich spray is even making a patina. You can see where the surface appears to have evaporated as well as tiny impact spheres.

Well now that you have been dis informed with the slowest science here is a better modern thesis.
Can you have coning in clay? This is like a cleavage pattern in rocks, it shows the energy composition structure. If you had a shock wave from below come up through the earth it would make this. The rain is removing the fill. Tectonic coning. Is a new one Ray Forage, thank you for posting this. And another new phenomena name, Tectonic Coning. Cool.
Coning type, this is a narrow cone in an overlapping multiple form. Narrow coning is a higher energy form. It is shown in the "sonic booms" of aircraft which is a low energy type and makes a wide skirt. This was much more powerful.
Also, these structures are not clay greenware. They have been shock hardened from the high energy wave passing through similar to the firing of clay greenware in a kiln as a ceramics process.
Texel Mountains (Lodner, Hohe Weisse) South Tyrol (Italy). Bright marble, dark mica schist and gneiss which form the Texel Mountains today, endured a harsh treatment. Under enormous heat, and extreme pressure they were pressed into the earth’s interior twice – before and over again during the Alpine orogeny. At last they were “cooked” 50 km deep in the earth crust at 650 degrees Centigrade. Finally they were pushed upwards within only 20 million years, which is quite fast by geology standards.
Well that is a bunch of crap.
Compression will not make cone in cone structures and liquid swirling marbling. Also while tectonics posits a push up from plates, mountains are found where there is no such plate boundaries. Moving plate theory presumes that crust plates would be broken and move around. Impact tectonics does not need to presume. They were broken and formed by large earth accretions. You can preform this experiment yourself. Take five balls of playdough and combine them together into a new ball and the cracks will look like the earth's plates.
Psyche 16 Asteroid. James Webb Telescope shows the striations in the big crater. This is a relative low pressure phenomena. Wave melt smoothing occurs as power increases. You can see this phenomena on shatter cones. The lower pressure versions will have striations. Also as a crater study you can see this smaller power impact does not make the major alterations below the crater that large impacts do. This rigid up lip crater wall is a low power signature as high power impacts will roll material over with a layering of the deepest material from the bottom of the crater arriving with high shock alteration on top of the crater wall. You can see this best from the Howell Impact in the mountains of lower Franklin County, TN and North Jackson County, AL with big chuncks of the lower strata as much as 50 tons arriving 50 miles away as high shock mega clast. Why is this asteroid round? It is a shock made nodule round impact sphere from a large impact in our solar system. The lip you see is a piece of its crust broken off in the largest striated impact.
I like edge effects. This is one of the better you will ever see. It is salt fractal coning near coastal Iran. This was an impact into a sea which evaporated the water leaving the salt and coning it upward in the shock upward blast a type of reflection wave.

The stunning salt domes in the Zagros mountains of Iran.
The Zagros mountains run parallel to Iran’s coast on the Persian Gulf. These mountains were formed when the Arabian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, resulting in a number of ridges and faults for salt domes to form. The structure of the Zagros Mountains is shaped by more than 130 salt domes and it is one of the most significant simple folded systems in the world.
The diapirs (a rising body of salt) break through the surface of the domes to produce flowing glaciers of salt. However, there is not enough rain occuring in this arid region to dissolve the salt and carry it away. Apart from salt domes, there are salt caves, including the longest salt cave in the world at over 6.4 km in the Namakdan Mountain, and also salt glaciers, salt valleys, karst sinkholes, and salt springs.

The shatter cone is a sine wave imprint as a structure and can be formed in most materials. You see pseudo morphs of wave imprints in shock made phenomena. The mineral itself has a state of arrangement that the shock will shift it into under the right circumstance however the wave energy itself is an independent operator in the forming equation.

Thank you Ray Forage for posting this really interesting crater. Not dunes. Section 1 Botryoidal bubbling (which is a type of rejection pattern since making a sphere is how one substance opposes another). 2. Fractal climbing, this is a breakup pattern of energy dissipation. While it loses the white it is still somewhat evident climbing up the wall. Of course dunes are incapable of vertical climbing. 3. Tiger stripe tube fractals. this is a second order (iterative) energy phenomena. The tubes are fractals but the power was so great it shifted energy octave like if you blow on a pipe flute harder it will shift up octaves.
Why are these type craters different? All craters are unique. Usually I regard a crater as a "nominal effect." Since most of the event is not established by the crater. This is a non nominal. The energy was dissipated at the crater therefore higher making phenomena not seen in most craters. Some surfaces are harder which causes an instant unloading of kinetic energy. While popular theory teaches that craters are an instant unlaoding that is not so. Some objects are uniform. That also causes instant unloading. Some impacts are more vertical causing instant unloading. Next is speed. Slow impacts do not produce a kinetic explosion crater. Bullets for example usually do not. You need to get up to miles per second. An object moving too fast will not make a kinetic surface explosion. Fast enough it would drill a liquid hole through the object which would tend to melt back together making nothing more than a surface dimple.

Impactite in transition to square wave function. Geometric shockwave expressions are part of the explosion sequence as the shockwaves overtake and combine thus imprinting in the impact plastic material. Scale macro rarefaction expansion - After the shock wave expands it leaves a great vacuum. Iron crystal cubic writ large. It is the opposite pseudo morphic as a diamond.
Bubble theory origin is that this is a moving bubble expansion therefore elongating it. But alas it is filled which negates this theory.

High Energy Narrow Coning at the speed of light. We also have a type of coning turbulence. This is an explosion dynamic of shock chaos.
Now notice the rhythmic pulsing of the upwave cone. It degrades to a fractal expression as it comes apart on top. This is a cross wave expression that occurs with so many example specimens. They are fundamental to each other. It is an iterative second order harmonic.

look how the triangle wave moves from 45 degrees to vertical as you move away from the valley crevasse. That is an energy sink. Good picture.
Refuting the chevron squeeze principle - Banded agate with rough edges and firm edges. This bleed phenomena is related to the harmonic signature as it is not a secure wavelength for this powerful isolation of minerals. Of course a tectonic squeeze would be more uniform at this scale and does not explain how such diversity of mineral isolation is caused or why it is a nodule or how it got to the surface.

While it has the shape of horn coral it does not have any of the core detail. The central inclusion is interesting. I like it for a shock circle but it is an erratic. It is difficult to make an off center cone. The inclusion would not be something a potter would want. Perfect circles are difficult to make. The matrix and presentation is not fossil. It is also not typical of a shock made rock which are mostly metamorphic. I present a best theory as a starting point, but some things are just unique.

Any thoughts on this piece? Native artifact, fossil or just a very cool rock?
Coning octagon fossil unknown type, found Nashville, TN. A shock made fossil from the Basin Buster Impact that made the Highland Rims which are crater walls. I think it is new phylum. I also use the ruling out thesis principle to eliminate it as a "shatter cone." Fossils versus physics theory divides multiple overlapping purposeful physics into the too teleological therefore information.
I like this picture because it takes us back to the basic low pressure shatter cone signature. This however made a radial figure not the knapping one directional chip so familiar with flint artifacts. You can see it trail off quickly. The rock however has to be hard to transfer shock well as powdery less dense material will absorb shock. Specimen picture provided by: Torbjorn Larsson of Norway.
Coning tide, yes you can have this in water at the beach. It is funneling energy to a point. You don't want to be on the receiving end. Notice in the foreground you have the classic surface ripple and in the background this energy has gone as it dissipated or lifted off surface. Why does it make multiple vortexes? It is another type of dissipation which broke down into discrete (quanta) type packages to make a physics form. As you can see on the left side this was overpowered by a strong lateral force from the right. You often see competing forces in nature physics forensics. It is at its highest in impact physics as an explosion is chaotic. Picture provide by Ray Forage.
Polymorphic coning around an impact sphere - This is no slow concretion process probably done in flight from the impact as ejecta. This would be a type 3 impactite composed of all impacting bolide material. Notice how the harmonic signature is interfereing with the cubic crystal construction. The impact sphere acts as an attenuator. Aftab Minerals Iron Pyrite specimen.
Jump from coning harmonic to circle harmonic. Resonance accumulates in the center of mass so the outside of this specimen has a lower power harmonic which is the cone. It jumps to the circle as a quanta form shift an order of magnitude shift in physics.

Harmonic dual nature energies - Mushroom Jasper. This impactite is a resonate form. It has multiple circle harmonics imprinting. It also has a linear component as a sub harmonic. This is also what you see in striated shatter cones. Note how the iron is banded to the edge of the circle harmonic as it resonates at a different frequency therefore the jasper banding. Davod Calvert specimen.
< The coning to circle arrangement a relational energy shift form. But notice the center top shift to triangle, all related energy shift patterns.
Flow cone - Not concrete, is an impact explosion matrix. This impactite is in a cinder/melt sequence. The cone is a melt flow. The spoon void is an evaporative cavitation. The matrix contains small pebbles as this is more of an edge effect where the explosion chaos is mixing.

Melt composite cone, rare. Impactite. Explosion matrix. High diversity of minerals, inclusions etc is a hallmark of impact made rocks and strata. High heat is another. To melt all these different minerals you have to exceed the melting points of the higher melt temp. minerals which is actually higher than volcanic temperatures. I hope you don't mind but I need to add this specimen to my Alabama and Shatter cone pages. It is not a shatter cone it is a melt cone but I group by shape.

Impact made moving compressed bubble tubes froming fractal to cone. Pino Hachado, Neuquen, Argentina. Very old earth Type 2 Subduction Crater. This structure is coning, a shock harmonic principle same as shatter cones. Coning can occur without harmonics, however as this structure is pointing upwards a drip cone is not possible.
Overshock with iron. The thin triangles are vacancy high energy cones, very rare. The thinner the triangle the more energy was involved. It is a coning gassing void, a type of mosaic heat surface. It is intriguing that the left one skipped a section and then made an inversion of the cone as a disintegration form. The overall surface is a high shock metamorphic with cavitation and misted iron from the bolide iron plasma cloud. A rare and remarkable specimen.

Meteorite at Moscow space museum. Melt cone in cone triangle wave. Now if this were part of some strata anywhere on earth you would be told this is chevron folding caused by earth tectonic activity. This rock was made in space as an impactite. There is no such thing as floating plates that are part of earth as a unique planet construction. No floating plates on other planets. Planets are accretion bodies made by multiple impacts in the case of Earth about a million of one mile diameter or more as Mars has over half a million and is half Earth's size.
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.

Laminar coning welded to composite - Shock made coning structure, it is a build of the lateral waveform into a cone with rejection pattern/cavitation surface. As both pieces were plasma at the time of welding is a likely impalement during the impact event shock chaos storm.

Harmonic shifting example specimens are rare, the capture of an energy form shift.
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.
Notice the coning! While the picture shows a tube it is more likely an expanding cone with dimensions unable to see and the tube is a representation of that viewing difficulty.
Interesting coning variant, Callaway County, MO. It is of course from the Big MO impact and an outlier edge effect. Shock resonance which makes shatter cones tends to gather around the center of mass but this specimen is a surface chevron wave imprinting which is rare. The material on surface is more uniform allowing imprinting. It appears to have been a separate coating some of which has broken away.
Fossil? Shock made wave patterns are usually not this consistent and as I mentioned above not surface only. While not a known fossil type that occurs more often than you might think. I actually feel the preponderance of evidence is fossil, a new genus.

Thank you Ray Forage for posting the article and noticing the Turing patterns. The Turing Patterns were rejecting air on the surface as a liquid. Non dynamic even as they enter the vortex. The picture in upper right is more interesting. Here we have a liquid liquid form only rejecting as a dynamic vs non dynamic energy motion non motion duality. And alas we have cavitation chain cratering! Now that is interesting. This show the action of energy forms explaining the aligned craters we so often see in impactite and planet surfaces.

Vredefort Crater South Africa, sine wave, tigers eye and burnt sienna. The sine wave is a bounce leakage from the main shock wave energy as is the Tigers eye which is noise. The burnt sienna is a function of burnt iron used in making paints but seen here as the instant hue of impact in this zone.
Imprinted Pure Sine Wave from Sudbury Impact. The shockwaves organize with distance into the forms you recognize on an oscilloscope. The sine wave is what you see as shatter cones. These sine waves are more flat than a typical shatter cone which would indicate a high power linear organized wave function. Waves organize with distance as waves will combine as they overtake another wave. The rock is very metamorphic so it would be shock made a crypto crystalline silica plus minerals pulverized in the impact. Cleavage occurs along wave edges because the wave edge imprints as these shockwaves are a macro quanta and move in packets as described in Einstein's famous Nobel Prize winning paper on light wave quanta.
Typical Shatter Cones are a three dimensional expression of the sine wave with the grouping peak and repeating and as an up and down transfer from the impact force direction(s). This is a lateral single sine wave, not a coning three dimensional impression.

Impactite, sine wave propagation. Melt in crevasses. Sine wave or triangle wave is what makes "shatter cones." This is an edge effect. Waves are energy in motion. In the center of an Earth Impact is chaos of shock waves. Waves however will overtake each other with distance and finally settle down to something like this. Your location is at the edge of two large craters 100 mile plus type. Mastodon tooth? It is difficult to tell some cusp effects as physics can duplicate a limited range of patterns. The too wide lower section is contra indicative of tooth.

Triple iterative high shock shatter cone, rare. Bay of Fundy, Brunswick, Canada.

Impact geometric, coning, triangle wave, shatter cones - Regardless weather this is calcite coated, the repeating triangle is not any likely sedimentary process. A conformal coating to the underlying pattern but identifiable. Why do the particle patterns not all make geometrics? Complex resonance, it is the same difficulty you would have if you tried to set up a sound system in this location. While it is not true shatter coning will always point to the impact center, it is a statistical fallback in a less complex setting. I picked up some surface strata in the edge of the Murfreesboro Crater and the shatter cones pointed back to the impact center all angled the same. To the left of the blue outline narrow triangle area, you can see it shift to a larger flatter triangle wave form. The resonate waves are conformal to the energy they possess, and the properties of what is being resonated. Right side lower marked 3. Same is happening on the other side for the same reason. It appears as a vague cross hatch, but such is multi triangle forms also bigger and flatter. The narrow smaller triangles are a focus of concentration making the wave energy shift from large wave to small but of higher wave pitch. Is the octave shift wave mechanics. Picture 4, crossing harmonic/barrier caused a "dissipation effect." Explosions are a dynamic and good coning requires a settling down of the energy usually with distance. You will still have crossing waves and other energy signatures. Did the dark feature impact into this location at the same time as the resonate energy was imprinting? Seems likely, but it clearly looks to be of denser more metamorphic Fe3O4SiO2 chert looking mineral which would set up a competing focus for resonance which is energy in absorbing dissipation. What a nice picture. You just don't get to see energy strata this good outdoors. I hope you don't mind if I add this discussion to the bottom of my shatter coning encyclopedia. June 12, 2023.

Impact geometric, triangle wave form, a variant of shatter coning. Notice the tilt. That is an angle away from impact center. This location is between two big old craters. This is a somewhat two dimensional triangle wave form. You usually see this as a peak its three dimensional form. I have found this in the crater where I live but smaller by a third or quarter. These waves are proportional to the impact shock wave that produces them so one of those big craters made this as my crater is smaller. The spacing between rows is the harmonic density of the waves the triangle is its type. Like the ocean wave spacing is often not even. A peculiar impact imprint. Sept. 14, 2023.

Shatter cone in milky quartz, with garnet inclusions. Rare. I hope you don't mind if I add it to my encyclopedia. Attached is the Chegg Geology Group Anomaly Map with craters marked. Dec. 21, 2023.
Shock made triangle agate - So let's start with the material and border. Milky quartz with central black and red iron oxide in isolation, also expanding with small void. If the expansion would have continued it would be a shock triangle geode. The border is a resonate isolation as well with the more white attenuating to form the border. Close up see attached: 1. Fractal to cone or triangle internally, a meta process, not a true iteration. This is also how shatter cones are made. While the traditional cone form is most recognized, the triangle is a simple shift in the harmonic as you can see on an oscilloscope. Higer power waves and a crypto crystalline material will make a sharper construction. Reflection bounce 2. The half circle and arc indentation are the resonate energy so high it is bouncing internally and able to make this impression. You see this a lot with shock agates. 3. Surface rejection patterns. These Turing Pattern responses are the surface in reaction to the environment which makes a rejection pattern non mixing state. At the surface of a shock resonate body the energy drops off as this powerful energy is absorbed as a body and the center of mass absorbs the most therefore a not homogeneous surface state. The triangle as a tubular form - A tubular shock made specimen is subject to movement of the object or wave in another axis (the Cartesian Z axis). Personal field experience - 2 miles SW of Howell, TN in the Howell, Impact Structure I found high metamorphic shatter coning, sawtooth, and triangle wave form imprints side by side in a boulder. Kinetic explosions are very harmonic when large. The Barringer Crater (Meteor Crater, AZ) small no harmonic imprints. Wells Creek, TN bigger with shatter cones. Howell, TN (two states, seven counties) highly harmonic. Dec. 22, 2023.

Narrow triangle arms, snowflake like around a core stone. While it does fractal, notice the smaller stone is also projecting these points. I am wondering if there is so much electromagnetic energy in the world now with all the communication transmissions it is producing shatter cone effects in ice as it forms a solid. This example negates the sedimentary cone in cone theory whereby crystals cause cones in a two directional process as you can see this crystal coning process is one direction. Dec. 31, 2023.

First let me point out the fundamental wrong assumption of this and any other geology article you might read. There is not one type of impact they are all unique. Many craters do not have shatter cones we are aware of. But having said that let's look at some good field work they did on shatter cone orientation and distribution.

The Tunnunik impact crater, formerly known as the Prince Albert Impact Crater, is a recently confirmed meteorite impact crater.[1] It is located on Prince Albert Peninsula in the northwestern part of Victoria Island[A] in Canada's Northwest Territories.[2]
The 25 km (16 mi) wide crater was discovered in 2010 by Brian Pratt, professor of geology at the University of Saskatchewan, and Keith Dewing of the Geological Survey of Canada during an aerial survey of the region. The crater is estimated to have formed between 130 and 350 million years ago, and may have been created when a meteor a few kilometres in diameter struck the Earth.
Another useful bit of information provided by this study is the size change getting larger outward but less defined. This is due to the power of the shock wave form diminishing. Organized to not, you know that law of nature that is counter to evolution. Feb. 14, 2024.
Higer metamorphic coning and Flat Top coning - Striation will disappear as the shatter coning power goes up. See cones from top of this page from the Howell, TN Impact Structure. The Flat Top cone is a lag in the fluidized ability of the cone to imprint. You also see a flat linear shock wave with these. A step function period wave. Is the step function period wave an iterative effect? Does the shock wave make a lateral wave? Yes, but you can also have crossing grid harmonics. Feb. 14, 2024.
Non resonate narrow up splash triangle coning. This was a fast powerful eruption. You can see the twist vortex motion in the foreground outside crater wall.

Bifurcation coning and the fractal to cone transition relation to power - Larger cones tend to be found away from central impact with more developed coning configurations in central power i.e. cone in cone and hourglass shape. Horsehair striated cones are a low power effect in the single digit GPa. Striation is a linear fractal. While your Alaska mountain example is bifurcated your NM example is a mini cone contained larger cone. This is another type of fractal. While both examples are considered large they are both in the coning lower GPa pressure profile. Central cones with high pressure GPa will melt to produce the three coning wave figures, sawtooth, triangle and sine wave cone. Attached is a magnification of the Alaska bifurcation. So why does energy change form? Energy travels as a wave and wave power is in a quanta, or shape. Take for example lightning. It will branch off the trunk when it has too much or too little power as a constrained minimum maximum physical property. Below that the fractal tree will jump to ball lighting as it can no longer hold the tree fractal energy form. (I am the only person to see ball lighting from five feet away btw). Cones building larger cone is still a coning quanta but a developmentally lower energy level cusp of fractal to cone as the pure coning types are in a higher energy quanta state. Beyond coning is moment torque twist whereby the excess energy will spiral the cone. Note, this is not a Coriolis Effect as the North and South hemisphere both twist counter clock wise according to the right hand rule of the upward force energy. Humphrey's peak AZ is in this developmental cusp mode causing a sine wave crest. Iterative coning forms will fractal branch new multiplied forms which is an excess power form not to be confused with the lower state fractal developmental form. Feb. 25, 2024.

Pattern wave theory advanced - Impact shock wave organization imprinting develops as a function of distance as too close is vaporized. I have found the triangle, sawtooth, and coning wave side by side in the Howell, TN Impact Structure. These were imprinted in a sub group of a wide banding wave which captured these waves top and bottom, pictures 5 & 6. Now consider the rectangle wave over printed by the triangle wave at each crest. Then you would have this type figure. See figure attached picture 4. April, 6, 2024.
Fossil joint theory - Fossil regrowth joints are reliably aligned as before. However a break can shift alignment. Physics complexity of forms theory - The higher the complexity of a physics form structure the less likely it is a physics form. Too much information cross over. High organized complexity is indicative of DNA or design. In the case of the specimens presented it is likely they are too complex to be physics made forms. They are too consistent and complex. Note the variation of shatter coning waves side by side in the boulder. April, 7, 2024.

Very rare type of impactite. Harmonic noise is multiple wave states at once. The cone in cone is the familiar shatter cone sine wave state. Also evident is the sawtooth wave form. Is sub pulsing in the coning sine wave state. Iron inclusions from the impacting meteor/bolide. Circular gathering is a form of harmonic absorption. Fractals, are a sub form of energy not harmonic although they do have a quanta period before branching as the trunk state must have the right level of energy to maintain form. April 23, 2024.

I found this rock yesterday while fishing on the Mondego river in Coimbra. We had massive flooding this winter, and after the water levels finally dropped, I found a huge mound of calcite crystals, limestone fossils, quartz, and a whole bunch of other cool stuff that washed up under the bridge.
But, this rock was completely unlike anything else that had been deposited there. I posted it to several rock identification groups, and nobody seemed to have a definitive answer. However, one person suggested that this may actually be a fossil? Stromatolite?
I truly appreciate any and all insights into this amazing specimen!!
(Oh, and just FYI, the darker photos were when it was wet. It is much lighter in color now.)
Thank you so much! All the best
Why some shatter cones present with smooth cross section breaks. The presentation above has a crossing shock imprinting. This can be banded into various sizes as it is an explosion variable. Harmonic crossing can be very complex or simple. April 24, 2024.
Impactite, sine wave function shatter cone with noise, iron from meteor/bolide and crossing wave function, printed in impact ash/shale by high impact pressure, or fossil? Rare and valuable, $1,000. So why not "plate tectonics?" Is too small for a macro physics to make this tiny rhythmic detail. Same is true for the iron which would be in much higher concentration as an earth macro feature. Also surface specimens are not likely macro earth tectonic location. While based on Mars, the Moon etc. the average US state would have 2 to 4 thousand surface impact craters of a mile diameter or greater you can often find your crater with a USGS geology anomaly map which is like an x-ray picture of the earth. So let me save you the trouble and draw them in for you, see attached. So why not a tree fossil? It has a sub developed coning function within the coning not a tree grain I am familiar with. It also has a bar type inclusion feature (blast random impact geometric.) While a love for impact phenomenon is my strength it is also my weakness. I cannot rule out a type of wood grain structure. I mean who has seen all of them? In any event it was made as an ash fossil from the impact event if it is. My first job at age 15 was refinishing furniture at a home based antique store on the next street and determining what type of wood was a high skill. The most compelling argument for fossil is the grain structure in the vertical which is unknow for shatter cones but also rare in fossils to have this level of detail on surface and grain.

Can anyone help me identify this rock? It’s about 8 pounds. Found in Lamar county Alabama. thanks in advance!
The very narrow coning/fractal presentation in this view and of course the high detail is astonishing. Here it does not look like a fossil. This view makes me think shatter cone but the high energy narrow type. June 3, 2024.
Now here is a blast artifact from Mt. St. Helens doing something similar but without the higher energy finer grain detail. It also has a slight x axis undulation. This is a fossil. June 3, 2024.

Shatter coning variant. Notice how the coning wave is a crisp triangle form in the lower section and progresses to sine wave and then finally the pseudo crystals. The high energy save imprinting has also separated the iron to the bottom section. June 8, 2024. Kayla Mortenson, specimen.

Hello, I hoping someone can help me identify what or how this vertebrae/tooth type pattern has occurred in this rock found near Jarvis Bay NSW? My son wants to know why there are X type markings or V markings so precise on each quarter of the lighter bits. He's not letting it go until we find out why. I've googled all I can! Nothing has come up Please help???
Shock made from earth impact. Impact geometrics. First there is the obvious tube form which is a moving shock circle. Then there is the two triangles the pure form of the "shatter cone." The angles of the triangles are called a second order iteration. It is a fractal function at the first branching i.e. second order. June 14, 2024.

Dave Tabler Specimen from Rock Collecting 101 group.
Shatter cones and variants. The stream has excavated down to the "shock floor." The pink is the impact iron mist that bond to impactites (a plasma late stage fallout.) Coning is a shock wave form set up as a sine wave, however this shock floor has variants with concave cones and cross striations. While the NW and SW state has some big old craters as shown on the geology anomaly mapping the central state is radioactive. Like meteorites the large earth impacts vary in meteor/bolide minerals. Even though later geological events alter the original crater like a glacier flow these minerals are embedded throughout the original crater area. You can still see this large crater on the uranium map. Shatter Coning is the translation of shock waves into sine waves. These waves are from the direction of the coning points. While residual wave form energy is still present in this multi frequency phenomenon. That is the horizontal residual you are seeing in last picture. June 25, 2024.

Projectile mechanism. Impact from the small opening side. High velocity. Projectile was the size of the opening entry. While lateral striation is rare and could often indicate it is a fossil: I believe this to be a true cross wave phenomena. What it is not is the crystal theory of sedimentary cone in cone which is a bogus theory. July 6, 2024.

A shattercone found in Ries Crater limestones. Very rare.
Now here is an interesting phenomenon. The sand is duplicating the large coning structure. It is not volcanic as you can clearly study volcanos and they never have this much uplift power to produce vertical coning. You can also see crossing wave energy imprinting which is also never present in volcanos. The wind is so strong and the sand so pliable that when it meets this sudden uplift it is duplicating the form. July 25, 2024.

The Massif de Hogar is a mountain range that rises suddenly to the west of Tamanrassete, Algeria. The region has an average height of 900 meters above sea level, the highest point is Mount Tahat, in the center of Atakor. It culminates at 3,003 meters high, and is also the highest peak in Algeria. The Hogar massif is essentially made up of volcanic rocks and constitutes a vast rocky region within the Sahara desert.
Iceland is not a good volcanic example. It is the central uplift of a very big crater that broke the earth's crust. This up flow is part of that up splash but with less power. While not coning you can see that is was a liquid. July 25, 2024.

Fusion reactor sawtooth wave crash. Various types of crashes occur when using the plasma magnetic reactors. One of these is the sawtooth wave crash. As you can see it is a sign wave combination where the cycle energy gets jumbled and overlaps. The reactor must keep a constant stable rhythm.
The wave jumble. This is the same picture from above top of page at 2 miles SW of Howell, TN. shock imprinted strata in the Howell, TN Impact Structure. You can see triangle wave coning as well as sawtooth patterning. The stone is shock made metamorphic and cleaves at the waveforms cresting. This impact has millions of megatons of energy and surely made a plasma like the fusion reactors and also produced the same waveform expression. Aug. 2, 2024.
Impedance to wave imprinting of various materials. Shock as a wave form will imprint in minerals making the coning structures, shatter cones, triangle wave, sawtooth wave even a square wave. The materials will vary in ability to imprint. Take for example these materials: Material Typical values for

Too soft to imprint. Shale and sandstone.
Too hard to imprint. As these wave forms are very powerful while not imprinting they are compressing carbon into diamond. The high heat and pressure of impact forces combined with it's resonate nature are perfect for making diamond. Sandstone would be melted into chert, quartz, gemstones depending on the minerals present. Aug. 13, 2024.
Sand or sandstone would be remade into quartz then imprinted as well as a shatter cone. Aug. 13, 2024.

Impactite, sandstone and chert, with harmonic wavelength imprints which pushed out the softer calcite and fluidized material as it contracted while cooling. Above the band and to the left you can see triangle chevron patterns which is another shock made figure, a triangle wave harmonic. The whole rock is moving to the triangle point projection on left side. Above the banding center is a circle which is yet another shock made form. The central jasper banding while faint is a mineral harmonic separation. So how do you have so many harmonic signatures in one rock? Earth impact explosions are powerful and not uniform. This causes a multitude of harmonic force overlapping waves. These waves can propagate in the same rock. Do harmonic shock waves have a priority or hierarchy? Yes the dominate shock wave imprint is banding lines. Circles and triangles are rarer as shock made imprints. The shatter cone is a sine wave imprint. Sept. 19, 2024.

My dear friend revealed this to us last night. He found it age 14 (40 odd years ago) in Yorkshire sandstone whilst one sponsored walk with scouts … I just love the image of him making the walk a little harder with his precious find! It’s circa 6 cm long.
I’d love to reveal your thoughts on what it is to him so appreciate your time.
Thanks
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. Sept. 26, 2024.

Coning balance condition is the free to oscillate condition. Sept. 26, 2024. 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.
Impact made cone in cone crystal fast form. The iron is from the impacting bolide making this a type 2 impactite made of what was likely sand providing the quartz and iron from the meteor/bolide. The cone in cone wave pattern is a familiar sight you see on oscilloscopes, the sign wave pattern. It is a more balanced form of shatter coning. It also contains a gap where a slow cool was possible and made the traditional crystal habit. The cone in cone habit is possible only due to the high heat and pressure in the form of the triangle wave propagated in the impact. Sept. 26, 2024.

Cone in cone narrow cone harmonic. Identified as fossil lycopod on line but I can't see any resemblance to established lycopod specimens. Narrow coning is an extreme example of the cone in cone. It also has more up coning than down. And then there is the iron which needs to come from somewhere. Sept. 26, 2024.
Sedimentary geology and the diagenetic crystal theory of cone in cone. Numerous explanations have been put forth to explain these structures, with the most popular being formation through expansive crystal growth of the cones. Shown above is a block of ice with this type of crystal habit among others as it went through a series of forms as it went through liquid to solid and colder. Water expands when freezing and is unique in that regard. As cone in cone can occur in quartz and iron it is unlikely this water based example applies and no observations of this form have ever been observed otherwise in a laboratory setting. Notice that the coning is unidirectional not cone in cone. While you don't see wave based imprinting in a laboratory either you do see an oscilloscope. Mineral separation is now being done with high power microwaves in ore refining because it breaks the ore at its non ore boundaries by resonances since the different materials resonate at different frequencies.

Now here is another trilobite. The narrow coning on the right is unknown in origin. A shock fossils could have both shatter coning and fossil but a fossil specimen would favor it being fossil.

Now this one is interesting. It is wrongly identified as cone in cone but is a real shatter coning structure. Besides the whole sedimentary cone in cone physics being bogus this has the back bounce reverb going on and type 2 bricking. Type 2 bricking is a harmonic imprint that has stress cracks making the brick type forms. In this case the triangle wave over laying repetition. Sept. 27, 2024.
Another difficult coning situation. Left side is easy that is impact ash. Center section is shatter coning reverb type cone in cone made out of the impact ash.

The physics of glacier scoring. Parallel lines are what you expect to see, not coning points.

Sinusoidal plane wave moving variant. It is likely that the specimen was ejected at great velocity from the forming crater. The sign wave and noise (other wave variants) are evident. By this high speed movement the wave imprint changes to a 0 point amplitude and back to the higher frequency. The same is true for a high speed moving wave across a specimen the typical shatter cone or cone in cone structure. Oct. 20, 2024.
Blast icicles a type of narrow coning made by impact. The specimen in front of it has shock broccoli a type of high heat mosaic. Impact blast versus water erosion theory. Water erosion theory predates raft/plate tectonics and impact. It is a default theory and often over applied. Let's get started on what is wrong with it for this example. Where is the water? Why did the water act only on one specimen? If it is sandstone how would water erode an inert substance, it takes hydrofluoric acid to etch glass. Raft/plate tectonic theory also has problems for example no other planet has this phenomenon which is a theory buster. How would this have been formed by plate pressures? Impact theory explains both specimens and you can reproduce effects like these. Blast icicles versus shatter coning. Shatter coning is a harmonic usually a sine wave and is caused by the shock wave resonate imprinting. There is no sine wave in this specimen it goes from melt to icicle and repeats, that is the closes it comes to wave. A blast is also an aerodynamic shape maker and the narrow taper shape is common to tektites. See attached, O'Keefe, 1976, Tektites and their origin. Oct. 21, 2024.
