The impact shattered and melted tons of area rocks, excavating a large crater. A mixture of rock, dust and glass fell back into and around the crater, forming layers thousands of meters deep, which in time has became cemented together and hardened into a polymict fallback breccia. I recently made a trip to the Glover Bluff impact crater in Wisonsin and collected several beautiful pieces of fallback breccia in both the white/yellow variety and the brick red type. I have rough sizes ranging from 1g- 50kg+ with slices and endcuts available soon. If interested please contact me off list and specify your preference for size and I will send you pictures. This is some really beautiful material and something that should be present in all collections!! I will be adding all my samples to a Picasa account over the next couple weeks as well so stay tuned!
