All, I have updated my albums with several more shattercones from Kentland Crater as well as several different breccias, melts and Shattercones w/fossils.
Enjoy and don't hesitate to ask for more photos of something your interested in or or to give your input on some of the material I can't identify . These are beautifully preserved and of the highest quality. Enjoy and more to come.
