Thanks for the congrat's, Bernd.
I was quite surprised when I looked down and saw it. The funny thing is
that when you look for things you tend to find them. A friend was with
me at the time and I told him to be on the lookout for anything out of
the ordinary, artifacts, odd rocks, etc.. A minute or two later I had
the eureka moment when I spotted this shattercone falling out of the
hillside. My friend couldn't figure out what I was so excited about!
Some people just don't get it. : )
I should probably have it verified in some way and perhaps it could be
traced to its origin. I would love to know it's story. Perhaps someone
can enlighten me as to procedure for impact material reporting and such.
Happy New Year!
Sincerely,

Subject: [meteorite-list] Shattercone?
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. ([email protected])
has more on that!
Best wishes,
Bernd
