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,

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. (oxytropidoceras at cox.net)
has more on that!

Best wishes,

Bernd
