Album 2 - Target Rocks & Exotic Deposits
Impact Breccias: rocks displaying mortar texture,
cataclastic flow texture and, rocks displaying shock
and un-shock clasts. Undoubtedly, these breccias
may contain some impact melt rocks.

Frequently occurring megablocks of shale on the side of the mountain
Large cone shape bedrock outcrop on top of the mountain with what appears to be shatter cones (pic 1). Fractured
megablocks, left of the cone shaped outcrop, block the outcrop's view (pic 2).

"Black Mat" Layer of Exotic Deposits in and on the Small Impact Structure's Rim:
Cylinder of drill core showing the fragile Black
Mat aromatic carbon layer of exotic deposits
(photos 1 & 2). Soot covered pebbles from one of
the smaller impact structures (photo 3).

Soot/Ash from the comet's impact on pebble

cobbles from the impact structure and around
the yard (pics 2 & 3).

A group of rocks hit with meteoritic projectiles. In this case, small metal projectiles from the comet, that fell with enough force to project them into, and
at times, straight through the rock (pic 5). These rocks are not limestone. Considered impure, limestone in the area is mixed with marl aka mud (as
in limestone and marl), what appears to be fish bones and carbon. Pure limestone is not to be found within 100ft of the surface in this area.
Further, these rocks are black... with thin grayish-white coating. The black under the grayish-white coating has the appearance of "hornsfel", a
baked rock that forms from shales __ pseudotachylites__ covered in the High-temperature Impact Melts section.
