Hi Larry and List!
I only live 1 hour. away from the Serpent mound crater and have deer hunted
there for years, before I new anything about meteorites and
shatter cones and even before I knew there was a crater there. The rocks
there are (yellow-tan) and the shatter cones from that area are the same color!
But your stone looks a lot like a shatter cone that I have seen!
This spring I will go too Brush creek (edge of serpent mound), Adams county
Ohio
and try to find my own shatter cones.
Looks like a great stone Larry!congrats!
Dave

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. (oxytropidoce...@cox.net)
has more on that!
Best wishes,
Bernd
