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!

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!
