Sudbury Impactite #2 – 48,4 g

108,20 $
The Sudbury Basin is an enormous structure 62 km long, 32 km wide and 15 km deep. This basin was formed after the impact of a meteorite, certainly a comet of about 10 to 15 km in diameter, 1.849 billion years ago.
It is the 2nd largest impact in the world.
The very important mining development in the area is directly related to this event.

Tunguska Wood #10 – 0,10 g

154,57 $

On June 30, 1908, in Tunguska, Siberia, was recorded one of the most powerful explosions in history, which devastated in an instant a whole forest area fortunately uninhabited.

60 million trees were cut down, the power of the explosion was estimated to be 1,000 times that of the bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.

An exceptional luminosity in the middle of the night is noted during several days in Europe, so much so that one could read the newspaper at night in the Caucasus.

 

In 2013, the discovery of three meteorite fragments lifted part of the mystery, and moved towards the hypothesis of a meteorite.

The event would be well due to a meteorite, however this one would not have struck the ground, nor exploded in flight, but would have bounced on the atmosphere. This body would have flown over the earth, then would have left in direction of the Sun. This hypothesis has the advantage of explaining the absence of impact crater and debris

Pica Glass #8 – 17 g

45,18 $

About 12,000 years ago, a large cometary explosion melted a vast area of the Atacama Desert in Chile. The heat was so important that the sandy soil was transformed into silicate glass.

The minerals discovered in the Pica Glas correspond to the composition of the material brought back to Earth by the NASA Stardust mission, from the comet Wild 2. The analysis led to the discovery of minerals found in meteorites :

Cubanite, troilite and inclusions rich in calcium and aluminum.

The dating of the impact about 12000 years ago, coincides with the mass extinction in South America of large mammals.

This current theory can however be contested by new theories.

Chassenon #6 – 70 g

An impactite is a terrestrial rock modified by the impact of a large meteorite.
These rocks contain an agglomeration of fallout dust and fragments.
The Rochechouart impactites were formed as a result of a meteorite impact about 207 million years ago in New Aquitaine in the Rochechouart district.
The impact crater of the Rochechouart meteorite is called “Astroblème” because it is no longer visible following erosion.
There are several types of rocks :
Babaudus-type breccias, rich in fluid-textured glass and vacuoles, are found only in the center of the astroblast.
These breccias are contaminated with chromium, nickel and cobalt, metals coming mostly from the asteroid.
The “breccias” of Montoume type, red because of their richness in iron, metal supposed to come from the asteroid.
The “breccias” of Chassenon type, debris of glass of greenish tint.
The “breccias” of Rochechouart type, contain little glass and are constituted of elements of varied size and lithology.
