We get a lot of the red breccias like that, they are one of my favorites to find on the beach, always tight and
so colorful! This photo is cool because you can see the shattered rocks in it easily. Love what you can do with your cameras.
here is an interesting sister to that one

JamesP, it surely must have looked a lot like that! The crater site 150 miles north of you is a bunch of mines, I believe copper ? Somehow metal ore is related to that impact ? Town of Sudbury, on google earth, looks like open pit mines all around there. Is that impact site definable on google earth ? Does Lake Wanapitei have anything to do with the impact ? Looked at Wiki, gracious, this lake is yet another impact crater, you guys must have been living in sin "It was evident by the mid-1970s that Wanapitei Lake was an impact crater. Remarkably, it lies on the eastern edge of the much older, larger Sudbury structure. Cobbles of suevite, crumbly impact breccia cobbles containing bits of dark glass, are found surrounding the lake. Some contain coesite, a high pressure mineral diagnostic of impact structures." |

Love what you can do with your cameras it is an old camera and does not have very high resolution. It serves as the house microscope. Funny, it is only rated at 6 megapixels, but shows detail about as well as a 20 megapixel point and shoot. I think they fudge modern resolution numbers. It does have an expensive but old lens that probably helps. it is a Nikon D70, an old dinosaur. They are dirt cheap on Ebay bet those red breccias glow in that clear water |

That is nickel they are taking out of there, they supply 80 percent of the worlds nickel! Many people believe the nickel is originally part of the comet that buried itself there. Yeah, theory now tends to think Wanapeti might have been created at the same time as The original Sudbury impact after all... nobody really knows for sure, all the new information and diagnostic stuff out there makes anything we read in print or online almost obsolete about as fast as we can dig it up.Theories abound, ideas are still forming. Interesting time to be learning about all of this stuff. Not so sure half of what I read which is purported to be truth isn't just the latest theory which will be overturned tomorrow. There is not much out there on Wanapeti impact material except it seems they find loads of shatter cones. I learned about shatter cones too late to hunt them but I did see one HUGE one on a public beach near here, and will have to go back in warmer weather to photograph it.

Like that one, no doubt it is a breccia. If your gonna breccia a rock, please pick good colors mother nature  still freaked out that the lake next to Sudbury is also a crater. But they say much younger. |

Ok, that was what tripped me out about Sudbury-the nickel. 80 % of world supply. THAT is a lot of nickel. I remember they were suspicious that it was alien nickel from the comet. I am sure the miners don't care where it came from, but it is a marvel to rock hounds. Too bad they can't get the 'by the gram' value of a meteorite. So most every nickel you put in your pocket has an 80% chance of being from another world ? ha They are watching us from the nickels. This subject is a trip LOL |

"bet those red breccias glow under that clear water" yep, they practically shout, red is so rare here. (compared to the gazillions of pieces of limestone and shale on the beach)

Here's something else to think about. There are unique carbon molecules associated with the Sudbury impact. They are called "buckyball fullerenes". Some people think the transport of these carbon molecule-fullerenes by the comet is what actually started LIFE on this planet. not only do we owe our currency to the impact, and lots of batteries, maybe our very existence here... try that one on for size! |

I was sawing one of your rocks yesterday and heard a dog barking. Turned around and it was a fox !!
Possessed by alien spirits unleashed from the Onaping crackalite stones.
it freaked me out, never seen a fox bark
Maybe it was the buckyball fullerenes, any chance you guys have been snowed in to long ?

Desert aliens, and snow aliens, them suckas are scared of us crazy sutheners 2 aliens flying over Kansas came in for a landing at a gas station. They walked up to the gas pump and commanded it to speak. Gas pump said nothing, so the alien whips out his ray gun and shoots it. Blows up and sends the aliens rolling 400 yards out in a corn field. They finally came rollind to a stop. One alien looks at the other and says, "unfriendly SOB". The other alien says yea, and mean SOB, had his *enis stuck in his ear !! |

LMAO It just keeps getting better and better. I have a weird feeling about this that makes me shiver. If we can go back far enough that impact may be what created the universe. Well, 80 percent of it anyway.

A Martian couple and an Earthling couple have met and are talking about all sorts of things. Finally, the subject of sex comes up.
"Just how do you guys do it?" asked the Earthling.
"Pretty much the way you do," responded the Martian.
Discussion ensues and finally the couples decide to swap partners for the night and experience one another. The female Earthling and the male Martian go off to a bedroom where the Martian strips. He’s got only a teeny, weeny member; very short and very narrow.
"What can you do with THAT!?" exclaims the woman.
"Why?" he asked, "What’s the matter?"
"Well," she replied, "it’s nowhere near long enough. It’ll never reach!"
"No problem," he said and proceeded to slap his forehead with his palm. With each slap of his forehead, his member grew until it was quite impressively long. "Well," she said. "That’s quite impressive, but it’s still pretty narrow."
"No problem," he said again and started pulling his ears. With each pull his member grew wider and wider until the entire measurement was extremely exciting to the woman.
"Wow!" she exclaimed as they fell into bed and made mad, passionate love. The next day the couples rejoined their normal partners and went off together.
As they walked along the Earthling male said, "Well, was it any good?"
"I hate to say it," she said, "but it was really wonderful. How about you?"
"Well," he said, "It was the weirdest thing. She kept slapping me on the forehead and pulling my ears all night." |

I love saying "buckyball fullerenes" crazy name isn't it? Named in sort of fun after Buckminster Fuller, the inventor of the geodesic dome among other stuff. Its a name you don't forget, at least. Cool the fox approach your place near enough to hear her bark. Was she pretty close? I thought they were not real loud. Now I have something else to go google. The things you can learn on a rock tumbling forum!
