Hello Robert,

Again, thank you for your reply and incormation regarding Crooked
Creek.?

I initially thought it was slag as well as it didn't fit with the
materials I
had found and documemted at the site, but then I recovered a large
specimen of
the same glass however it was transitioning from rock which has a
quench-like
texture. A couple days later I recovered additional material that had
many of
the same characteristics as the specimem in question, yet was stone had
floating
clast of the same material the glass transitioned from on the large
specimen.

I do not claim to know what this material beyond previous experience
and visual
correlation, ?but the large piece is quite an enigma as it has
characteristics
of a couple different specimens that are obviously stone and vise versa.

I appreciate you responding to my question and hope that ?we can
continue this
dialog.

My Best,

Brandon D.

I have encountered this material during field work.? I have a sample in
a box here beside my desk, along with a thin section.? My sample?was
dominantly iron, with less glass and less bubbles, but looks?pretty
clearly to be?the same thing.? I did some research on it a couple of
years ago.? The metal portion has?no nickel content, and the silicate
(glassy) portion is complex in composition, inconsistent with melting
of the local carbonates, chert, or quartz arenite sandstones that are
found in the brecciated or uplifted Crooked Creek rock units.??I
believe it to be slag from local mining of iron (about 100 years
ago)?within?the crater and throughout the region.? The mined iron is
not associated with the meteorite impact.? It was emplaced along faults
in the region by mineralizing hydrothermal activity, tens of millions
of years later, that occurred during the Ouachita Orogeny.? They also
mined for barite and several other things along faults
in and around there.? I found evidence for the?timing and origin of
mineralization associated with the mines recorded in some earlier work
by a different author (I think it might have been Hendriks, 1954.)??I
included?more details in?a published abstract, though I?don't recall
how much.? Sorry...?it was disappointing for me as well.
Best regards,
Robert?Beauford

Good Day/Night Fellow Listees.

It's been some time since I have had a chance to get on the list and
also present some new material to the collectors and researchers
interested. I have had to deal with some serious personal family issues
and this has weighted heavy on me as of late.

Today I would like to get the word out that I have some new impact
material of such quality that it should excite those who share my
common interest and attention. It is not just the size, but also the
scarcity.

To some up what I have I am just going to list what I have below.
Further specimens will be added over the course of the day so stay
tuned as well!

http://www.ebay.com/usr/meteor-rite

1) 469.2g endcut of full impact melt from the Crooked Creek, Missouri
impact.

2) 39.5g Rare slice of possible impact or landslide melt in Kofels,
Australia.

3) 1,123g corner cut of impact breccia from the Crooked Creek, Missouri
impact.

4) 868.2g Huge slice of impact. Melt breccia from the Glover Bluff,
Wisconsin impact site.

5) 441.7g. beautiful corner cut of the yellow type impact breccia from
the Glover Bluff, Wisconsin impact site.


I also have a piece of Meteorite art in the form of a Zoomorphic Campo
that has been painted by an artist with oil paint. It was shaped and is
now presented beautifully as a colorful chameleon. It was displayed in
a display at a museum for some time and includes documentation from
them as well as the artist.

Again, my eBay listings can be viewed by following the below link.
