Shatter cone

sketchfab

Meteorite impacts and nuclear explosions alone create shatter cones on Earth's surface. These unique formations serve as irrefutable evidence that a meteor impact occurred, even if the original crater has been erased by erosion over time. This specimen originates from the Jabal Waqf es Suwwan crater in Jordan, a site where the effects of such an event are still visible today. Measuring 87 mm in length, this shatter cone offers a tangible link to the catastrophic forces that shaped our planet's surface.
