Geological Significance of the Kentland Crater

The Kentland crater is renowned for its excellent preservation of shatter cones, a rare geological feature often associated with the aftermath of impact events. Shatter cones form under intense pressure and high velocities from an impactor. They have a distinct conical shape and display horsetail-like striations.

Insights from Kentland Shatter Cones

The Kentland, Indiana meteorite impact site provides valuable information about the dynamics of meteorite impacts, including the direction of impact and the forces involved. This makes the Kentland crater an invaluable site for studying and understanding the Earth's geological history and the role of meteorite impacts in shaping our planet's landscape.
