Full slice, 4.42 kg (9.74 lb)
15 x 12.5 x 1 inch
38 x 32 x 2.5 cmThis is a huge slab of Alamo Impact Breccia professionally cut and polished on one side. It is made mostly of limestone and some chert-like clasts, and contains stromatolites, rugose coral, a few shell fragments, and fusulinids. I can\'t add much to the photos - it\'s a beautiful example of an impact breccia.From what I have seen, this is among the largest and best Alamo Breccia specimens that has ever been offered. It is a museum-quality specimen. Cutting / preparation was done by Marlin Cilz, of the Montana Meteorite Laboratory. The Alamo Breccia was first recognized as impact-related in the early 1990s. The breccia had previously been described as a reef-front depositional deposit, however, more detailed work done by the Colorado School of Mines showed that this was inconsistent with its geologic setting. Later work found evidence of a positive iridium anomaly, shocked quartz, and lapili related to the impact. The location of the source crater has not yet been found. ShippingIf possible, I would prefer to deliver this specimen to the buyer at a major show like Tucson or Denver, at no cost to the buyer. I cannot see \'s shipping estimates, but can ship this at cost via USPS or FedEx. I do not currently ship to China or Italy without special arrangements. About me
