Impact Breccia Slice Kit | 106 Grams | Impactite and Guide | Brent Crater Trail, Ontario, Canada
$95.00 CAD
Unit price per1 low in stock
Estimated delivery between 27 November and 02 December.
This is a must have slice of Brent pinkish gneiss impact breccia. It is roughly diamond shaped with dimensions of 140x75x8 mm and a weight of 106 grams. It comes together with a collectable twelve-page booklet, with paper a cover, entitled Brent Crater Trail: History of the Crater.
This 14x21.5cm fully illustrated collectible trail guide was published in 1998 and is a great introduction to the Brent Crater. It examines the history of the Brent Crater, discovered in 1951, one of Canada’s many meteorite impact craters. The crater itself is about 3.8 km in diameter and is estimated to be 396-million year old (+ or - 20 million years).
Long after a meteorite impact crater has begun to disappear from the landscape, a variety of impactites may remain. One variety is impact breccia, a mixture of shattered and sometimes melted rock.
Although not a meteorite, impactites are directly linked to them and their impacts and are probably going to be one of the rarest collection pieces you'll ever own. Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection, also perfect as a gift for a young space enthusiast. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
