Boltysh Impactite | 4.71 Grams | Slice | Bovtyshka, Ukraine
$51.00 CAD
Unit price per1 low in stock
This is a must have 4.71 gram impactite from the Boltysh Crater in Ukraine. Its dimensions are 28x27x4mm. 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. The Boltysh impactites are important geological specimens that are recognized by the scientific community as evidence of asteroid or comet impacts on Earth.
The Boltysh crater is a well-preserved impact crater located in central Ukraine. It was formed approximately 65 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period, around the same time as the Chicxulub impact that is thought to have caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. The crater is estimated to be around 24 kilometers in diameter and is one of the best-preserved impact structures in the world.
The Boltysh crater has been extensively studied by scientists because of its importance in understanding the effects of large-scale impacts on the Earth's surface and the resulting environmental changes that occur. Studies of the rocks and sediments from the crater have provided valuable insights into the processes of impact cratering, such as the formation of impact melt rocks and the creation of shock metamorphic features.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
