| Figure 7 (A). Photomicrograph of shock melted fragments
of spherulitic glass from Bedout 3044 m (9986 ft) set in a matrix
of dark glass. Similar spherulitic glass has been identified in other
terrestrial craters (Chicxulub, Sudbury). Width of slide is 1.0 mm.

The large grain of nearly pure silica (Table S-1, analyses #22 and
#24). Similar textures have been observed in BSE images of the Chicxulub
suevite. Scale bar is 50 µm. |
