Unit price per1 low in stock
This is a must have 16.88-gram Impactite slice from the Terny Astrobleme (Ukrainian Shield) in Cherkasy Region of Ukraine. Its dimensions are 53x32x8mm. 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 Terny impactites are important geological specimens that are recognized by the scientific community as evidence of asteroid or comet impacts on Earth.
The Terny astrobleme is a geological formation located in the Cherkasy region of Ukraine. It is believed to be the result of a meteorite impact that occurred approximately 65 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period. The impact formed a crater that is estimated to be around 6 kilometers in diameter, although it is largely eroded and filled in with sediment.
It is an important geological site for studying the effects of meteorite impacts on the Earth's surface and the resulting geological processes that occur. It has been the subject of numerous scientific studies, and specimens of the impactite rocks found at the site have been collected and analyzed for their mineralogical and chemical properties.
Would be a beautiful addition to any new or existing collection. Comes with a Canagem Collection specimen card.
