Washington State, USA Impact Craters
States with such high detail geology anomaly maps can even show small impact structures. Also that will pick up old and distorted structures. Mountain states can be harder to differentiate structures.
Impact Spheroid Deming Washington area. Composed of the shock particle storm and iron mist on surface. The impact pulverizes material into particles and these get sorted by distance into a common particle which coalesced like a hailstone into a sphere.
Coastal Oregon/Washington Specimen. Unique. It has an nano iron or manganese halo. This is a harmonic resonate effect. It also has resonate circles. Also composed of a shock particle storm matrix. It has been rounded in the surf. The inclusion is? Cylindrite type of shock made form.
Surface minerals come from impact. While not all of the big meteors that hit earth were radioactive some were.
It was found in Wenatchee, WA up high not down around the Columbia River basin. This is shock harmonic banding around an inclusion. This specimen is an edge effect with lower power. Impact agate conglomerate. It also has the cobalt and iron typical of the larger surface impacts. The Columbia basin is a large surface impact.
Impact made polymorph crystal - These shock made impactites are unable to organize into its regulation crystal form due to the fast forming nature of this freeze physics. In addition to that the shock wave is a harmonic which is directing a non seating energy vibration. The black border is an iron oxide separated by the refining harmonic as it resonates at a different frequency as attenuation. Also notice it has a ghost attenuation of the polymorphic structure surrounding at a larger scale. Washington State, near Seattle.

Any ideas as to what this is? Ive not seen 90 degree corners like this on a rock before
Compression squeeze triangle caught between three bubbles expanding.

This was found in Southern Washington Elochoman river.
Teardrop expansion impactite, rare. June 2, 2023.

Collected from Redtop mountain WA. Jasper the rabbit found his home after crossing many rivers and roads inside the eye.
Rejection patterns volcanic. No evidence of harmonics. The dot and line pattern is more of a directional indicator with the impact coming from the bottom and elongating. While this was a large earth impact the volcanic process can continue for geologic times into the future. Aug. 9, 2023.

Is this volcanic? Found near Mt. Baker in Washington State.
Shock agate, Columbia Basin Impact Structure/Crater - Unlike a volcano, impact has resonance/shock waves. Minerals vibrate/attenuate at different frequencies. Impact is a progressive process and the sheet of minerals arrived as a splatter coating or form. A higher power wave form could have attenuated the entire rock or body but many smaller wave forms will make the many circle agate of your specimen. The banding of the circles is due to the nature of waves. Bunching is the compression phase and the wider gaps is the rarefaction phase. Attached is a diagram of the tuning fork in water experiment which you can do at home. Oct. 22, 2023.

I have no idea why this post keeps getting declined!
Found in SW WA, USA
What are these little spirals? They seem to form in cracks. They are thin and protrude from the host rock in a sheet.

Columbia Basin Impact Crater Radioactive Spray - Like the Howell, TN Impact Structure where I live this impacting bolide/meteor was radioactive. The spray is basted outward with the type 2 material from the bolide itself spread over great distances. I use a Giger Counter so as not to have any radioactive specimens in my home. Oct. 22, 2023.
Othello, WA Columnar Basalt an up thrust from the crater shown above. These fast moving bubbles will form a tube which is compressed against the neighboring tube to form polygons. Is rather like running with a bubble wand. It will elongate to a tube. While basalt is the common term this can exist in any material but will be deep as this phenomenon is made by big deep impacts. Jan. 5, 2023.
Impact made nodule with plasma holes. The matrix was once limestone now a shock made dolomite in shock white. Plasma iron which can still be seen made the holes see the red. Plasma holes are common to big craters. Jan. 17, 2024.

My brother loves rocks and stones of unusual colours and shapes. He was visiting me on Vancouver Island when he saw this holey one at Botanical Beach near Port Renfrew. He lives near Toronto, and he wanted this rock so badly, lol, he stood and stared at it for a while, trying to figure out some way to get it home.
Carnelian - Carnelian is a translucent to opaque gemstone with a distinct vitreous luster. It is composed primarily of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and exhibits a hardness of 6.5-7. Found in Washington State and Oregon. It is also an impactite. It has plasma cavitation not elongated like meteorites. Or it could also be a Septarian surface mosaic expansion due to high heat.

What is this rock all about? Found at South Fork Willapa River, Washington state.
The big 2 craters of Washington State. Depending on if you are looking at a geology map or a topo map the size varies. They are so intermingled they could even have splashed down together as a bibolide. The volcanic activity is a reflection of these bolides breakeing the earth's crust. Jan. 31, 2024.
Round Impactite Spheroid (I have a book on-line about these, just search on Round Impactite Spheroids). Ferro silica, low iron content, low magnetic. Why do impactites with iron not respond to magnets? NASA research back in the 1960's showed that high shock can both make and remove magnetism. In the large crater I am the advocate and principal researcher for "The Howell, TN Impact Structure," most of the iron impactites are not measurably magnetic. Beyond shock impactites were formed in a very high heat and pressure "Higher temperatures make magnets weaker, as spontaneous magnetism only occurs below the Curie temperature. Magnetic susceptibility above the Curie temperature can be calculated from the Curie–Weiss law, which is derived from Curie's law." They also can be iron oxide in a nano particle pulverized state Fe3O4 black iron oxide. Carbonizing and weathering surfaces - Black surface reactions to heat and surface chemicals. In the case of your specimen it appears to be carbonized from high heat. It is not a meteorite as that would make flow lines and have a deeper crust. It is also very difficult to identify meteorites in large craters. March 11, 2024.

Found this in Washington in a pullout along a river, so it could be from somewhere else. Seems kind of heavy for its size and almost looks like it has a seam. Picture in hand for size reference.
Edited to add: I don't think it's metal. Definitely not magnetic. Found 30 miles inland from the coast.
Oblate Impact Sphere with iron plasma voids and pyrite iron plasma void. Sometimes the iron has time to cool slow enough to form its cubic structure. The iron as dissolved. May 5, 2024.
Bill Proctor found specimen in Spokane River.
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.
A freeform columnar basalt cell, rare indeed. Impact shock bounded in the upthrust. Columbia river basin impact. July 20, 2024.
Detail of the above specimen showing fractal flow on the right side including a fractal fan. July 20, 2024.
Detail of the top dome showing it was once limestone strata with shell fossils or they could have been instant fossils. July 20, 2024.
Impact splatter, the matrix is directional because that was the direction of the blast. The iron bits are from the meteor/bolide. They are a crystal variant, a fast form in high pressure and heat. Aug. 24, 2024.
Savvy Nichole
Any idead what this is? Colville WA.
Magnification. 1 shows some cracking, this could be from high heat at formation or weathering. 2 shows a section of splatter fade with matrix material covering indicating this splatter was concurrent with a plasticity of the matrix. 3. the iron bits shredded from the meteor/bolide. They are similar to but larger than fiber crystals. Aug. 25, 2024.
The Colville Washington Crater and a couple of nearby craters. Aug. 25, 2024.
Of fossils, fractals, energy flow, resonance, iron, ionization, plasma holes, impactite throws, barnacles, sea returns and time. First let me say that physics forms and fossils can be very confusing as there is much to overlap. Having said that I believe this to be a physics form, an impact sphere/nodule variant. It is remarkably rare btw as the fractal flow appears to shift relative to the resonate energy. The holes are plasma intrusions as earth impact makes a lot of plasma bubbles traveling at high speeds. The iron is from the impacting meteor/bolide. Resonance versus ionization energy. Circle banding jasper lines around a central mass are caused by the high shock resonance present in impact explosion. Resonance gathers around the center of mass. Since it is a sphere/nodule liquid drop it is a uniform outward. It is also possible that the sphere was gassing making the hole in either case it would be a plasma made hole. The impact made the specimen and tossed it outward. It could have been a sea or land impact. The amount and size of the barnacles does not indicate a long time. The ocean tides tend to bring things to the shore over time. Oct. 4, 2024.

Hi all, I found what I think is a fossilized coconut out on the upper north coast of Washington state. Let me know what y’all think. Thanks
Ionizing fractal balance around the outer ring. Ionization takes place due to the high temperature and pressures in earth impact explosion. This shift of electron shells up then down releases energy. The shock resonance banded the iron to the outer shell a good conductor and the charge radiates both out and inward from the iron conductive ring. The inward bands can restart this inward/outward balancing of charge depending on their relative conductivity.
Evaporation or erosion? I am going with evaporation. This was a close in relic/artifact of the impact event. Part of the sphere/nodule was blown off/cindered as you can tell from the direction of the fractal flow coming toward this residual. Oct. 4, 2024.
High energy narrow coning, this is a small scale version of the impact shock effect that makes mountains of similar narrow coning. It even seems to posses a turning moment. Oct. 4, 2024.
Melissa Morello · ·
Found in a Washington state riverbed.
Does anyone have any insight on what kind of stone this?
Seeing a side cut of coning appears to have a twisting turning moment torque. Oct. 4, 2024.
