Rock from meteorite impact crater. This rock,which consists of a mineral called suevite,comes from the Nordlinger Ries impact crater in western Bavaria,Germany. The crater formed from an impact that took place some 14.4 million years ago. The suevite mineral is a breccia,an aggregate of rock fragments fused into a matrix. Because it formed from an impact,it is known as an impact breccia | |
