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.
What a specimen. Ball constellationing, iron black obsidian, thin lines and a yen and yang inclusion. From Izmir, Turkey found in 2018.
Here it is again making lines and breaking them. Found at river called Dzirula. Location Georgia, Shrosha ( I don't mean the state of America, its little country west of Black sea)
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.
Feathering shock lines. This is a high shock in between condition before they melt away into bands or blended condition.
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?

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.
Harmonic Shock Lines, a Gathering Harmonic - Harmonic Gathering is a consolidating wave form that is collecting same type particles by resonance.
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.
Shown above is a specimen from a West Tennessee collector. Again the banding wave is collecting in the black iron oxide. This time is shows direction from top to bottom.
Now here it is out of phase and in transition. Is not the pure harmonic for perpendicular branching.
Macro planar deformation features are shown on the other side. but again you can see it is in an in between harmonic shift.
Another great specimen collected by Ali Karadeniz, of Thrace, Turkey. This has false strata banding developing. It is a type of banding or step wave. The particles are in development of lines.
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.
This is a step wave harmonic with a break up into fractal. It is from a large impact explosion that made shock waves and the tiny particles. It also blasted the iron into it but that is common it is the wave form signature that is so interesting here.
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.
this is the crater where I live #3 the frankewing, tn crater. it is the ultimate expression of harmonic shock lines. 10 miles or 16 kilometers apart without compression in wave. see how small the compression pattern is at the top #10 the wells creek crater.
Line Fractal Combination - You see this as a branching harmonic. Attenuation effect.
I am particularly intrigued by the lines. Calcite flow lines.

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.
Impactite resonate type with circles and lines. The energy is starting to degrade the left circle. The lines are the harmonic wavelength which was a shift to lateral waves over the circle harmonic. Found in landscape pebbles by Nicholas Smead Sept 5, 2022.

Some more rocks to share that I found this past week. Some have what looks like shrinkage others flattened out. One has lines running through it I am assuming some type of quartz. Thanks for letting me share.
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.

Can you help me Identifying this rock type.. heavy like 2 kg handful size , fair magnetic effect , that golden colour is brown in reality I think its Iron oxide.
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. ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0031891461900799 ) In this specimen it has a thin filament which is an expression of the ion repulsion. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/molecule/Paulirep.html#:~:text=An%20ionic%20bond%20may%20be%20modeled%20in%20terms,limits%20the%20closeness%20of%20approach%20of%20the%20ions. Electrodeposition of particles - Impactites flying through the impact turbulent particle storm are grounding objects and the nano pulverized conductive particles are charged.

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.

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.

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.

Another Beauty! It’s soo pretty. Found in Nevada. Has like a design pattern on both sides.
Fractal Boxwork, type 3 of impact bricking. A high energy signature charged phenomena as you can see from the fractal stag horn effect. It has many tiny impact spheres in the matrix. So, what is a stag horn effect? A high energy trunk like lighting will more or less keep the same diameter. As the trunk loses energy it will branch or taper to a point. This tapering to a point is the stag horn effect. Where did the charge come from? The highest energy earth events are impact accretion the fundamental source of the earth's heat btw. Even a small 10-mile crater represents millions of megatons of energy. Besides impact being a generator with pulverized particles swirling everywhere; millions of megatons of energy will make a plasma cloud like you see with atomic bombs. While it is believed ionization is a single step result of the atomic bombs, the subsequent ion change of elements is implied in the physics like happened in the tragic Castle Bravo test. You had an unpredicted up charged blast and the know fallout producing ionization danger. These known explosions are orders of magnitude smaller than earth impacts. The central impact "Big Montana" is over a 500 million megatons of energy. Around five times the power of the famous Chicxulub impact. So the iron was charged from two sources the static generator and the ion charge. The highest instability will discharge quickly. The iron is from the meteor/bolide and can even have an initial radioactivity. Big Montana is a type 2 subduction crater coming in from the east. Western Montana has the uranium. Geology map of Big Montana attached.
So, why the geometric right angles in this type of boxwork? This type of alignment is forced by the right-hand rule of electricity. While the iron was more misaligned as an impact spray it is forced into right angles by the high charge. July 4, 2024.

In this example we have communication between breaks along the rim complexity. July 6, 2024.
Very high velocity with lateral and vertical all type 1 crossing grid shock. July 6, 2024.
Impact crater type 1 crossing shock grid with shift grid on east side. A shift grid would be a type 5 bricking. July 6, 2024.
Type 3 charged impact bricking, cobalt, iron and silica, all conductors. This high energy has isolated the minerals and is conducting and imprinting the energy release. Besides the swirling particles in a shock chaos storm the energy is so high as to produce plasma ionizing shifts which release energy to go back to stable. July 9, 2024.
Can anyone help my identify this rock? Found on the river bank in Western Washington.
Shock agate with type 3 energized bricking lead and type 5 shift in structure. This is both a resonate and energy made form. July 9, 2024.

Type 6, Deformation Bricking shown in upper left. Oblique impacts. This WW2 German Panther Tank has been hit by 3 round of 76 mm HE which killed the crew. Of course you can see the push up type cratering but beyond that you can see it broke the crust just like earth impact does causing the raft tectonics and rings of earthquakes and volcanos. Raft/Plate tectonics is a shadow theory like Plato's cave, a partial understanding. While this real world example shows what impact does it does not illustrate the mile per second impact energy common to objects from space. More energy equals more damage. These rounds was traveling at .6 miles per second. There are two basic speed profiles for earth impact. The first is capture speeds of around 15 miles per second. Cosmic speeds are around 30 miles per second. Capture speeds are slower because they are in orbit in our solar system. The Howell, TN Impact was likely at cosmic speed based on the debris field and it is also a low angle impact making a fan shape crater which is very rare. July 10, 2024.
Impact breccia, type 7 conformal bricking. Some of the shards were made square by crossing shock waves a type 1 bricking effect. July 13, 2024.

Hi everyone, a friend found this rock in the middle east desert (jordan-saudi). Any idea of what this could be? Fossils have been found in the area
Tiger' eye - When lines are in confusion. See the very top linear dots not quite come together. That is the section with the least energy being away from the center of mass. Harmonics gather around the center of mass. The dots are small iron particles from the impacting bolide/meteor. The Blue fractal happened just micro moments later even shifting the banding. Between the banding is the harmonic noise, not any specific wave form a jumble of them. Aug. 3, 2024.

Tiger eye
Geological confusion: from Wiki
Tiger's eye (also called tiger eye) is a chatoyant gemstone that is usually a metamorphic rock with a golden to red-brown colour and a silky lustre. As members of the quartz group, tiger's eye and the related blue-coloured mineral hawk's eye gain their silky, lustrous appearance from the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibres that have mostly turned into limonite.[1][2]
Other forms of tiger's eye
Tiger iron is an altered rock composed chiefly of tiger's eye, red jasper and black hematite. The undulating, contrasting bands of colour and lustre make for an attractive motif and it is mainly used for jewellery-making and ornamentation. Tiger iron is a popular ornamental material used in a variety of applications, from beads to knife hilts.
Tiger iron is mined primarily in South Africa and Western Australia. Tiger's eye is composed chiefly of silicon dioxide (SiO
2) and is coloured mainly by iron oxide. The specific gravity ranges from 2.64 to 2.71.[3] It is formed by the alteration of crocidolite.
The fibrous forms of riebeckite are known as crocidolite and are one of the six recognized types of asbestos. Crocidolite, variety of riebeckite, from Pomfret Mine, Vryburg, South Africa (Wiki)
So here goes the logic, Tiger's eye comes from Crocidolite just because they both have a linear grain, but Tiger's eye has no asbestos and is much harder. Aug. 3, 2024.
Type 1 impact bricking, a crossing grid of shock. Earth impact explosions are not point sources and many shock radial crossing occur. You can even see this in giant macro scale on the USGS magnetic anomaly map of WY (see arrows in attached picture). While all impacts are not identifiable magnetically you can see some of the easier to identify craters circled. Aug 9, 2024.

Calcite Locality: Berry Materials Corp. Quarry (North Vernon Plant), North Vernon, Jennings County, Indiana, USA Original description: Floater group of brown translucent to transparent calcite crystals with some breccia matrix attached. A classic of this Indiana locality. Note the uncommon rhombododecahedral habit, I believe {110} faces. It seems a garnet but I can swear it is not. Overall size: 70 mm x 40 mm x 35 mm. Major crystal size: 35 mm across. Ex Rick Russell collection.

Golden Rutile Quartz: Nature's intricate artwork.
Very rare impact nodule type from the Huntsville Crater. See attached 1. left side Fractal Coning Flow. 2. Fiber crystal crossing from coning point. 3. curious artifact of cutting as it is a double triangle point. 4. The central isolation of cobalt from shock resonance. The fiber crystal crossings are energy type constructions. This modifies the shredded matter theory, a type 2 shock line/fiber crystal. Aug. 28, 2024.

I found a few of these in Huntsville the middle looks a cobalt blue. My terrible cut actually helps point out a tiny agate pocket ( I believe). Their are also tiny gold flakes in the smaller darker circle.it seems very hard. Not much light passes through. Is it just chert? Any ideas? I have a few and would like to know what I have when someone asks what it is. Thanks guys
Impact Bricking type 12, Bricking Cone. Back side is impact breccia. The front side is an impact quartz splatter, it has a rare bricking cone with cross hatch from a crossing wave imprinting harmonic grid. See attached. Aug 28, 2024.
Found this piece in the high desert in Oregon. I have no idea what it is?
Shock lines, imprinted wave form, also has one crossing wave imprint. The surface is residue from the impact explosion. Aug. 2, 2024.

anybody have some insight into these things? I’ve found several similar fragments but I’m ignorant as to what exactly it is or once was, thanks

Howell, TN Meteor oh Yes! That would make sense 100% as these were found very close to the Wetumpka Impact Crater!
Impact Bricking Type 9, the square crystal, Dodecahedral calcite. One of the many polymorphs created in a high pressure impact environment?
This is a transition from a mosaic wrinkling surface to an organized grid pattern. Impact Bricking Type 13. Sept. 2, 2024.
Impact Bricking type 14, a type 2 in fossils. The lines are following the grain structure but the crossing cracks are a mosaic type crack between. So why impact? It is unlikely that anything besides impact or perhaps a volcanic pool would have this many minerals and be able to petrify quickly. Otherwise it would have rotted. Sept. 3, 2024.

The sedimentary layers in this large roadcut near Denver, CO. can be clearly recognized by the variation in color. These layers can be recognized as having been deformed because they have been tilted so they are dipping to the east (the left side of photo). This deformation was related to the uplift of the Rocky Mountains. (saved from University of Mount Union)

No, these are not the ruins of Machu Picchu, but rather remnants on Mars captured by DLR's HRSC Mars camera in February 2024. These images highlight the Angustus Labyrinthus region located near Mars' south pole, displaying straight ridges on a high plateau that closely resemble ancient ruins from the Peruvian Andes. This formation was first noticed in 1972 by NASA's Mariner 9 spacecraft. Researchers have informally referred to it as 'Inca city,' but the true origin of this Martian structure remains uncertain, with various geological processes being considered. What mysteries might these Martian ruins reveal about the history of the Red Planet, and how do they correlate with similar ancient sites on Earth? Untold Leaks, Facebook.

The trace iron which is from the meteor/bolide itself fills the forming impressions to show the bricking construction which is conformal. Impact Bricking Type 9/13, the square crystal, Dodecahedral calcite. This crystal is resonate made with the shock lines showing the central gathering that slid the calcite into its most economical form in the environment of high heat and shock pressure. This resulted in a contraction of the central body into the crystal inside the geode presenting the space. Do geodes contain a trace atmosphere of the impact forming event? Oct. 2, 2024.

Type 17 impact bricking. Right hand rule branching. Significant energy will twist. You can even see this in mountains made as an upsplash from big meteor hits as a shock resonate form. As stated above the energy types are related physics. As a charged effect shown here the perpendicular nature is a branching effect of the right hand rule. This would be impact bricking type 17. The specimen is also showing meta bricking from the right hand rule charged branching effect. You can see this in the left side iron breaking down to shift to the silica simi conductor carrying dispersal of energy. The rope like blobs on the right side are energy noise so unstable it is not able to make a distinct form. So where does the energy come from? There are two types of charge made in an impact chaos explosion storm. The first is particle generated by the swirling bits of pulverized matter causing a static electricity generator. For example the ash particles in a volcano plume make lighting at many thousand time the rate of normal atmosphere lightning generation. The second type is ionization. The high heat and pressure of impact ionize elements which is shown dispersed in the impactite as this shift cools. Oct. 25, 2024. Scott Johnson specimen.
Impact phenomena, tributary spring creek to Thompson Creek, Bankhead National Forest. Let's start with the area circled and marked as 1 on the picture. Sedimentary theory would suggest this stratum is cross bedding. Cross-bedding is a sedimentary structure of inclined layers that indicates flowing medium (water or wind) and bedforms (ripples, dunes, etc.). But how can it be that if it is a vertical coating? 2. Fossil burrow holes, erosion, I have no confidence in these theories. Worms are not that big and don't make serial holes. Erosion does not explain why it is harder or softer as holes in a series. Impact plasma cavitation can do this, and the area was full of examples. For that matter if you just move your eyes up from the number 3 you can see plasma indentation writ large, the famous thumbprint form you see on some meteorites. 3. shows how chaotic the crossing linear patterns are. It is a freeze frame of short distance non equilibrium. How would sedimentary lithification capture that? Nov. 13, 2024.
Chain dots, specimen from Moundville, AL. This small boulder also had a crinoid stem in poor fossil condition. Does that date it? No, as crinoids go back to the early Cambrian and the specimen was non distinctive. Chain dots are a fluidized feature I have seen before; however, it is rare. Chert/limestone boudin is interesting and contained in both sides of the boundary. Is this liquidized flow capture part of the Black Warrior Basin Impact Structure? I don't know that is why you do field work. Nov. 18, 2024.
Chain dots, chain fossils, sheet flow stripes and tiny impact sphere. Like many physics phenomenon fossils and physics can overlap. The crossing chain dots are not a chain fossil, but I have the advantage of seeing the chain dots in this same specimen and theses could pass for Halysites if you did not know more. Sheet flow Fe3O4 black is iron from the impacting bolide/meteor. It is well organized. Tiny red iron impact sphere in center. This was a powerful impact. Moundville, AL. Nov. 18, 2024.
