Coesite
It was the mineral Coesite, named after it's
discover, Loring Coes, that finally convinced the scientific community that the
diamonds found in the Canyon Diablo meteorite resulted from the pressure of
impact.
Coes had clearly demonstrated that pressures and temperatures necessary for the
transformation of quartz to coesite were at least 20,000 atmospheres and 700 to
1700 degrees C. Meteoritic impact was the only natural event that could provide
this. Coes' data suggested that coesite might be found in the quartz-bearing
rock of meteor craters. In 1960, coesite was identified as an abundant mineral
in the sheared Coconino sandstone of Meteor Crater.
0.5 inch specimens of Coesite supplied in 2" clear specimen case,
$22.00.

Iron Spherules, Meteor Crater, Arizona, USA
These 1mm iron/nickel spheroids were collected by Dr. H. Nininger in
1949 by towing a magnetic "rake" behind his car at Meteor
Crater in Arizona, USA
.
Supplied in a #10 capsule, 10 spherules per capsule, $24.00

Rock Flour, Meteor Crater, Arizona, USA
Collected at Meteor Crater in Arizona, this impact
material is the original rock strata that was pulverized into a flour-like
consistancy by the impact.

Shattercones
When strong shock waves pass through certain types of rocks,
they produce weakend zones which radiate outward from the direction of shock.
This results in ridged, cone-shaped fragments called shattercones.
|
|
| |
|
Shatter cones are physical evidence of violent impacts upon
the Earth in craters and impact basins. Listed are severa localities of rock
fragments that display shatter coning striations.
Sudbury Basin, Ontario, Canada, approximately 1.5 to 2 inches long
$22.00.
Beaverhead, Montana, USA, approximately 2 - 3 inches long, $22.00

Fulgurite "tubes"
Filed collected in the Saharan Desert, fulgurite "tubes" are the
result of lightning strikes fusing the sand into tube-like structures at
temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees C. These hollow tubes form along the
electrical discharge paths and are difficult to find intact. 3/4 to 1.5
inches long, $20.00. |

| Impact
Breccias |
Impact breccias - the
basement rock of large craters - are the primary evidence for a cataclysmic
impact event. The heat generated from impact melts the target rock changing
it's mineralogy.
