Hello Anne and list,     A curious Anne wrote:   "Has anyone ever visited the site? or seen breccia and shattercones from it?" (In a small effort from me to return the list to meteorite discussion...) As Philip Burns noted, Ed Albin was a couple years ago selling Marquez shattercones and impact breccia.  Around this time I traded for small sample of each from him.  While I can not seem to locate the shattecone, here is a sample of the breccia.  Although this is a small sample (14.5g), it reminds me more of the impactite from Azura then any of the other well collected impact breccia's.  Angular inclusions are fairly small, 6-10 mm.  Photo link http://www.meteoritearticles.com/files/Marquez.JPG   Mark Bostick www.MeteoriteArticles.com
