Impact breccia generations Crooked Creek

A typical polymictic impact breccia with breccia generations (breccias-within-breccias-within-breccias) – Crooked Creek impact structure, Missouri). Arnold Spitzer collection.

The fitting of the fragments within the larger white and black second generation breccia components proves high confining pressure during transport and emplacement in the finer-grained matrix.
