Shock Lines - Like so many phenomena found in craters the various forms of lines mean something. From ultra thin to dashed, turns at 90 degrees is just too strange to ignore.

Another fine line shown below from Lake Logan, TN SW crater almost too small to see. Also has an iron oxide layer that is somewhat strata linear.

Specimens below are from the Pulaski, TN quarry. They are likely from the Middle TN basin forming impact edge which was under the next impact I call the Howell/Petersburg impact which are both towns on it's landing edge so it has no real center since it was a traveling explosion and oval. I have a theory that forms like the ones below are part of the shock chaos explosion which has many directional energy burst at chaotic sequence collisions. It was close to a hundred mile diameter crater. The Highland Rims are the crater walls.

The inclusion bodies would also be part of the shock chaos storm.

The very fine black outline between the change in color and then going to the right and getting shaky before disappearing is part of an effect border then it goes to breaking up. Fossil left intact but those crystal inclusions are a moderate shock level 15 to 30 GPa.

Let's figure the specimen below was in a full liquid state of shock. The dotted lines are drops, an indication of surface tension between dissimilar materials.

As explained in Traces of Catastrophe the lines shown below are filled fractures. The thin lines shown above are clearly not fracture planes as the rock cleaves along other locations.

The small specimen below is a quarried and crushed gravel. It is metamorphic which is a higher quality of grave but goes largely un sorted by quarry operators when they hit a section of it. It was of course noticed and picked up because of the unusual nature of it like so many specimens posted as "what is it?" It is a step function harmonic wave form which was what also made it metamorphic. The shock particle storm also left trace iron of the meteor itself.

The line crossing the white band is a fast form as it transects multiple metamorphic rock. It is a singular inclusion and appears to have direction also. It's borders are firm and could have arrived at high speed.

Shock break as a cross plane distortion. Impact explosion chaos causes multi micro second changes in shock direction and it's metamorphic energy wave. The insert line was shifted a micro second later while the whole mass was in shock plasma.
Making lines and breaking lines. This strata at Pleasant mountain, Bridgeton, Maine is metamorphic, shows a particle storm composition and crossing vector lines. A volcanic event would not have so many changes in direction and metamorphic feature change. Also is a blue tinged area in upper right associated with nano mineralization.

Of lines and borders - So the conventional geology theory would say this is a tectonic effect. Sure is a lot going on in such a small area. The energy required is also chaotic more in keeping with an explosion. Study the directions of pressures, melting and varied effects, how would that occur from rocks just pushing against one another?

Shock chaos storm and directionality. You can have many directions at once in a shock chaos storm. https://www.hillbillyu.com/kinetic-impact-explosion-crater
This rare find was posted on Facebook Middle TN Rockhounds and Pebble Pups. It is from Decaturville, TN the county seat and population 867, Hew Haw Salute! It is unique. An impactite from the Basin Buster, Lewis county, or the ancient craters on the TN river I call 7, 8 & 9. ( see the map on the right) It is also a "geofact" a rock that looks like an artifact. I use a system to study and will place this in my page called shock lines. That does not mean it is like the others I have on the page just a way of cataloging. Do the groves represent a substance that has dissolved over a great amount of time? It is a fact of impactite prospecting that you will see different effects on internal and exposed surfaces. The back side shown below I believe to be "finding harmonics" a search for resonance in a directed shock wave. If I had to narrow it down more it seems to be in an off harmonic of the shatter cone "coning" wave a variant of the triangle wave form, sawtooth etc.

Carrying fractal tree and iterative bleeding - See how the energy is coming from right to left. These grooves are the "lighting like" shock energy in a dissipating grounding form and then branching off the main truck between trees, iterative bleeding.

Now this one is interesting. It is from the Thrace Crater west of Istanbul. It has lines as striations. They are in a shock chaos sequence so the specimen was close in to the blast and there is some melt to confirm that. Unlike a low energy striated shatter cone the many shock harmonics are crossing and the resonance is sorting as you can see in the cobalt lines. A rare transition specimen.

Notice how the iron is finding the crystal borders. The large crystals indicate a slow formation however it does have the small iron particles present inside the crystals too.

<< Eyelash Effect
Impact composite - The iron is from a large meteor impact called a bolide. The composite nature of it's composition is from the rubble chaos of a kinetic force of this magnitude. The specimen's most interesting feature however is the linear crystal habit around resonate mass points, the eyelash effect.

Shown above are resonate banding lines. The shock wave harmonic affects the black iron oxide Fe3O4 strongly. It also displays the "eyelash" effect. The harmonic mathematically departs on a 90 degree building harmonic. This is occurring on both sides and is not a directional indicator.

This is a new linear phenomena. Step wave pyramid energy dome fractal. It is somewhat septarian and branches off the diagonal line indicating an iterative harmonic. The presence of fractals indicates this is a fast formed energy dispersal. Specimen is from Lawrenceburg, TN one radius distance west of crater wall. This is actually a fractal type that is why it decreases as a triangle form.

عبدالصماد بوزكارن وداد الأمة specimen-large step harmonic. this is from a big earth impact. the reason you know that is the uniform distance between waves. a shock wave will overtake the materials ability to carry and make a concentration pause which hardens the material extra hard there. a shock wave will decrease in distance as it weakens. not much of that here.

Linear Fractal Branching. From Elora, TN quarry. March 6, 2024.
Rayce Reed Rock from east OK. Sandstone with trace iron impact segment. These are usually found on the edge of the dispersal crater ejecta. It is a sequence form with the core being more shock complex and the surface having a directional flow with fractal branching.
These are fossilized rippel marks, not a meteorite.

Well we agree it is not a meteorite, that is a start. Impactites are a byproduct of a large earth impact. They may or may not contain material from the large meteor called a bolide. Shock waves are produced by this impact and can melt whatever surface they encounter as it is about a million times stronger than your microwave oven. What is missing from the idea of these forms being petrified shores of some beach is a mechanism. How would a beach sand formation become instantly hardened? A sand formation is very fragile. As I retired from the world's largest research laboratory let me share that no proposals are approved without a mechanism. What is the science that transforms a fragile sand dune into a rock?
Also the Wiki geology would not explain the subsurface energy which is cross directional to the surface. Nor is Wiki Geology aware that these fractal forms are a directional energy signature.

Shock line gradient - Change in such a small space. While this does illustrate Liesegang banding it is a shock made wavelength imprinting. Metamorphic not sedimentary. It also shows a breakdown of imprinting. This is due to the substance. Imprinting requires a stable state to imprint and this area of the specimen was in a melt state.

Impactite, Splatterform, Thin Plane Insertion, Shock Lines, Bricking, Iron/Silica. So let's start the forensics. First you want to save the pictures you are examining and magnify them on a big screen 4k monitor. In this detail you can see the fractal breakup of the thin lines. This is an energy effect. Is similar to lightning but a high energy material flow found in impactites. It is not a creeping deposit into cracks as is taught. These inserts are conductors, contrary to the creeping into cracks they can crack the matrix with their energy which you will see in specimens from time to time. Next the same conductive material connects as a splatter with these energy inserts. Cross inserts is a phenomenon of high energy. It will brick making a parallel energy insertion at right angles. It is too high to be contained in a single dimension. This impactite is from a large earth impact as a small one could not produce this much energy.

Big crater effect, shock bricking. I see this here in the Howell, TN crater and yes it appears to be man-made but will be found in the most obscure places. Here in the Howell crater, I first observed it in small creeks entering the Elk River not a place anyone ever built a wall. BTW in your location it is surrounded by impact ash calcium bentonite. This ash was once limestone but burnt and blasted outward. The physics of impact bricking goes like this. It is a sub type of "false strata." The lateral component is the shock wavelength imprinting in the resident strata or compressing the ash into shale. As a wave harmonic stalls at its crest that breaks the strata as an imprint. The vertical component of bricking is the materials inability to absorb this energy and it breaks to the weak lateral lines which is why these breaks are not a continuing linear to the next lateral line and are unevenly spaced. Your second picture also has impalement holes as explosion is a progressive process. The red surface is the plasma iron which falls as a mist and welds to surfaces, these are often the last effect in the forensic physics analysis of your location. Attached in the USGS gravity map for WY with the big Medicine Bow two craters the upper and smaller lower. Either one could have made your location but the high volume of ash indicates the larger, but this could be a two step process with the ash from the bigger impact and the compression and bricking from a later impact.

Sudbury crater impactite. Charged crater effects - Volcanic particles will make lightning at 10,000 times the normal air effects. Impact particles however are more energized and also conductive. Manganese often found in combination with iron is conductive and conductivity increases with temperature.

Polymorphism, pseudo morphism, twinning, planar deformation features, resonate alignment - First the provenance of where found is an overlapping of more than one crater but one is enough. The attached picture shows one that broke the Earth's Crust, called a "Crusta Confractus (CC)." The joke in physics is the assumption of the simplest case. Explosion physics is chaos and multiple direction shock is normal. That explains the offset directions as you can see this when a water wave encounters a barrier and bounces back on the original wave. Another physics that is poorly understood is that polymorphism, pseudo morphism, twinning and resonate alignment are all the same impact physics phenomenon. They are just differing expressions of a common cause with resonate alignment being the overarching principle. See all the dots in your specimen. That is more important than is ever considered. These small particles are from the impact particle storm. If they are all the same size that is called the "common particle" which has been sorted with distance. It is also the tons of micro meteorites that fall by the ton each day on Earth. The particles align by attenuation to the shock resonance imprinting the wave lengths. As the particle dispersal in chaotic some lengths of the wave imprint go unprinted. I hope you don't mind if I add your specimen to my encyclopedia of impact phenomenon. Signal Peak AZ Crater.

Impact bricking Chesapeake Bay Impact - There are two types of impact bricking. The first is overlapping wave imprints. The second is stress release between wave layers. I take this to be the latter. Strata age? Super position is applicable to excavation in a crater but not to the impact made rock which in this case is only about 30 mya. Impact bricking is a sub set of impact geometrics. It is also a type of shock line. Dec. 16, 2023.

Hi all. Home sick today, I’m looking through old photos of rocks and geological discoveries I’ve made here. This formation is here in Woodstock, Maryland in the US on a road just off of my home. What might this formation be? There’s a lot of granite, schist (especially containing mica), gneiss, and quartz around here along a creek called Brice Run that runs into the Patapsco river . It’s a very unique spot. Pictures of this spot lie within and just next to Brice Run, and look nothing like the other granite and aforementioned mineral and rock formations just up the road, so I’m not sure what they are. Feldspar was my nearest guess (but I’m really stumped) as I know there are some old Feldspar mines and mineshafts not too far away. Thanks in advance!

Impact ash and falling mist iron impact bricking type 1 Sidney NSW Australia. Dec. 25, 2023.
Called Tessellated Pavement this shock wave imprinting overlapping is part of the impact progression late stage but a big impact. The earth is reverberating back the reflected shock waves with these organized patterns. So why does the iron migrate to the edges? This was very hot and the iron is separated by density to the edges as a simi flow. It is also weathered removing the most exposed raised sections which also tends to remove the top leaving the iron flow into the lower portions somewhat exaggerated.

Type 1 impact grid boxwork. This harmonic spray, likely iron is from an earth impact. This organized spray is set up in wavelengths and an earth impact makes many harmonics as the explosion is not uniform with many points of explosion and similar shock waves all at once.

My daughter found this rock in the riverbed in Ohio. Looks like a type of shale or sandstone. There is a lot of that here. But weirdly there is a geometric pattern on it that looks like the Star of David. I’m pretty sure it’s not a piece of tile. It is hard like rock.
Impact layer Septarian high heat mosaic bricking over compressed ash slate. I often refer to specimens like this as the "shock floor." Bricking and geometric compression - Radiant cells break apart as a energy induced heat transfer as this likely started as botryoidal bubbles on the surface but became squeezed by the neighboring expansion. This is the same mechanism that makes "column basalt." Type 1 and 2 "impact bricking." - Type one bricking is overlapping shock wave imprinting making a grid. Type 2 is energy transfer cracks between parallel separation. Your specimen is more rare and I will have to add it to my impact phenomena encyclopedia as a type 4 Septarian Mosiac Bricking. Hope you don't mind me adding your picture and credit. So why not mud made rock? Yes you can see many Septarian forms in nature it is a true universal figure form. So how would it be petrified? To make a pot in a kiln you need a couple thousand degrees. We have a missing mechanism which is impact which makes the heat and pressure to transform these impact relics into stone. Jan. 6, 2024.

Need some help here!! -- Area is Sedona, Arizona, USA, Location is Red Rock Canyon. QUESTION - 1) what MAY have caused the apparent rippling on the face of this slab, 2) Original orientation of the 'ripples', and 3) forces which may have lead to its apparent isolation? -- (Please, just those who really think they might know, thanks) -- -- Cite is Arizona Jones (photographer, and in image) -- His post: "This enormous rippled sandstone slab stands completely upright and reaches roughly 17 feet [ed.: ~5.2m]! This was an exciting find we made today in one of Sedona's many red rock canyons." -- THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE!!!!
Sheet wave phenomena - Not that this type of wave cannot exist three dimensionally, but this example is a surface ripple which was also knocked off in the same impact. From the western four state crater.
So what is the pressure required to make sandstone? .2GPa at 450 degrees F.
Only impact shock is going to be that high to freeze this surface form.

Well that is rare. Impact made physics. The lateral lines are the shock wavelengths. The impalements are just part of the overall blast pieces. It is the connecting patterns a shock bricking variant that are interesting. If you magnify them you can see the fractal construction of them. That means this is energy communicating between the lateral imprints but not direct as type 2 bricking often does. June 27, 2024.
