[meteorite-list] Shattercone?

[Dave Myers]

Hi Larry and List!


I only live 1 hour. away from the Serpent mound crater and have deer hunted 
there for years, before I new anything about meteorites and 

shatter cones and even before I knew  there was a crater there.   The rocks 
there are (yellow-tan) and the shatter cones from that area are the same color! 


But your stone looks a lot like a shatter cone that I have seen!


This spring I will go too Brush creek (edge of serpent mound), Adams county Ohio 
and try to find my own shatter cones.


Looks like a great stone Larry!congrats!


Dave

Hi Larry and List,

Larry asked:

"I found this interesting rock close to my home in Lapeer County 
Michigan while walking in the woods this past September."

It sure does look like a genuine shattercone! Congrats! It might be
a shattercone from the Sudbury impact but another possibility might
be the Serpent Mound structure in Ohio from where shattercones and
coesite have been reported! Maybe Paul H. (oxytropidoceras at cox.net)
has more on that!

Best wishes,

Bernd
