The light grey colour reminds me of my shattercones from the
Wanapitei crater near Sudbury. Nice find.

Hi Larry,
This looks pretty good to me. While is is always hard to judge by photos
it looks consistant with Sudburry. I have collected shatter cones in New
Mexico at the Sante Fe site and have a number of others including Sudbury
in my collection.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Shattercone?
Hello List,
I found this interesting rock close to my home in Lapeer County Michigan
while walking in the woods this past September. It looks like a shatter
cone to me but I've really no experience with them. One peculiar
characteristic of the rock is that it's not smooth. All the rocks here
have been smoothed and rounded during their glacial transport. I wonder
if it's from Sudbury and was relatively close to home so it didn't have
to travel very far and didn't erode too bad?
I did a few internet searches and didn't find any reference to impact
debris being found in this area.
Any shattercone/impact experts out there?
Comments and thoughts appreciated.
