[QUOTE="starfield7, post: 157818, member: 3209"] There's no known impact craters in that area, but there is lots of old volcanic activity, which I'm sure you're already aware of seeing as you are hunting for gold there. Still looks like impactite, but given the young geology of the region, any traces of old impacts would have been wiped away long ago. I'm going to hedge my bets; 70% chance impactite, 30% volcanic. A piece that size isn't worth having assessed. It would cost more to have a meteoritics geologist classify it than what it is worth to a collector. Interesting little piece though, and I'd love to know if you find any more in the same region. Thanks for sharing Len. Dave [/QUOTE]
