Hello all,

I recently made a trip to the impact crater in Kentland,
Indiana and collected an array of beautiful Shattercones ranging from
25 gram fragments with beautiful horse-tail patterns to 25 pound
complete cones that look like volcanoes, to pieces with multiple
complete points. Some even have ammonites and other fossils on one side
and beautiful Shattercones on the other.Kentland crater is an impact
structure in Indiana that is around 97 million years old.? The remnant
crater is about 13km in diameter and is the result of an ancient,
catastrophic impact from a medium-large size meteorite.I have several
cones that point in opposite directions as well as some that are
flatter yet display Shattercones on several sides, some pointing
different directions.

These are all preserved in limestone and dolomite so they are extremely
well detailed and display beautifully.In addition to Shattercones I
also have amazing cold flow breccias,polymict breccias with amazing
shock veins and clast, monomict breccias, and others I cannot describe
as I cannot find many pictures online about Kentland material in the
variety I have.These are absolutely beautiful- some fit for museum
display easily. Kentland shattercones are rarely seen as anything more
then small fragments, A++quality material is rarely available if ever!
I've uploaded some photos of a few shattercones which can be viewed by
following the following

Don't miss your opportunity to add some of this scarce material to our
collection.

Best offers will be accepted. Meteorites preferred for trade, but
impactitites are welcome as well.

Thanks,
