Back on Oct. 3, Elton (Mr EMan) posted saying that the "shock veins" in Carancas were not shock veins but slickensides, and cited his reasons for thinking so.

Hello again, Please, take a close look (and enlarge if possible) Mike Farmer's picture (page 3, first picture) of the pieces he collected or acquired. Right below the largest fragment that weighs approximately 38 grams (according to Mike's own comment), there are three relatively "large" pieces in the 6 o'clock position. Just a tad above the two on the left (roughly 7 o'clock), there is a much smaller, blocky piece that looks "striated". Could that be slickensides, which would testify to the enormous stress that this stone was exposed to?!
