Oregon, USA Impact Crater Map
Idaho crater overlaps Oregon. Also is California overlap craters.
Rainbow obsidian from central Oregon Glass Butte Crater. Notice how the harmonic wave did not have all the color materials present.
Explosion variant, very old. Nested impact spheres. Oregon coast found by: Heather Menge.
The large earth accretion impact crust breaking tectonics still being a stress dynamic in the present age.
Oblate Impact Sphere, progressive with latent surface blast iron from bolide. This will be very hard, it is crypto crystalline and has nano iron in its quartz matrix. The luster effect is from the size of the nano iron particles in it. Combined with the clear quartz it makes a pearl like or opal finish due to light refraction. It is actually a gemstone however a large one. Its crater source is likely shown on this crater map of Oregon. https://www.hillbillyu.com/oregon-usa-craters

This weighs shy of 30lbs. Found by the Umatilla River in Pendleton. Would like to cut it but I’m not sure if I should. Would appreciate some advice

Impactite spheres hypervelocity nested impalements (meta) with polymorph quartz. Rare. Large earth impact with high melted fragments which tend to produce sphere much as hail is produced only this specimen was in a close proximity to a high density of this impact storm. The double center is a high iron one two sphere from the impacting meteor/bolide. The quartz is usually the refined sand where it hit melted by the very high heat of impact. While the quartz would have made the classic crystal it was formed too fast but is a type of concentric. The quartz would have been around 3,000 degrees F.

I found this unique treasure on the Oregon coast, and I have NO IDEA what it is. Any suggestions?
This is an impactite from one of the big Oregon Craters. Yes the center is a chert type, however the outer rock is a bubbling quartz. It's most interesting feature is a second order energy tree fractal mosaic surface. Very Rare! So what is a second order tree fractal? A fractal energy form will branch when it exceeds its quanta bracket form. In other words it will keep making an energy trunk unless it has too much energy or too little energy as energy has a form that matches its quanta power state. Horizontal branching is a second order where the energy is so strong it must start a series of new sub branching each independent of the main trunk branch length structure. This energy was made in the shock chaos storm of turbulent nano particles swirling at very high speeds generating electric charge like a volcano does. A volcano will make lightning in its cloud up to 10,000 times the water vapor clouds propensity. The tube on the right is a collapsed bubble tube. This is the same property that makes column basalt. The colors are nano cobalt and iron from the impacting bolide/meteor.

My son found this in a creek by my house about 10 miles from the Oregon coast. It's either something really cool, or the poop meteorite from Joe Dirt..what do you guys think?
Plasma holes in motion. Not a meteorite, this was hot through and through. While a meteorite can tumble this was done faster than that. Feb. 7, 2024.

Oregon Coast find last summer
Suevite, Bandon, OR. Rebecca Kinney specimen. June 8, 2024.
Impactite, boxwork bricking. Bringing balance to the force - The lateral lines are shock imprinted wavelength, this however is too much energy and they form bridges between to bring balance to the force. So why the squares and perpendicular lines? This is a lot of energy and a straight line is the shortest path to connect to the next conductor. The silica is acting as a conductor of this energy. Quartz crystal is the most widely used crystal when it comes to conducting electricity. It’s resistance to wear and heat, added to its ability to regulate electricity, makes it a highly valuable substance for technology engineers. You can see little leads off the horizontal to connect beside the main bricking. The area surrounding is a shock melt. June 9, 2024.

Can anyone help me identify? This was found around Jordan Valley oregon
The Idaho Crater also pushes into Oregon. June 9, 2024. Geology anomaly map by Chegg Products & Services.
High melt suevite. Oct. 10, 2024.

Here's an awesome, crazy beautiful brecciated Jasper slab. This slab is about 7"×4" and 8mm thick. Another Tillamook County find.
Tillman County, OR.
Chert Botryoidal Variant. I like this one because it has not separated the minerals well. It was hot and formed fast as bubbling spheres but did not separate minerals. Jan. 8, 2025.

Payette Crater, Oregon.

Here's another awesome Jasper from Tillamook County (not Blue Mountain Jasper). The dark orbs are also translucent with the slabs at 5/16" thick.
While specimens like this are thought to be man made concrete relics impact has everything you need to make impact concrete, ash, sand, heat, lime, etc. But look at the bonding area borders here this is way more bonded than man made cement. July, 7, 2025.

A friend found this and we are wondering if anyone has in idea what's going on here!
Impact spheres and catchers. You can also see some cavitation surface on the specimen to the right. While these are thought to be of volcanic origin they are not. You are not going to have cavitation in any volcanic eruption. Also keep in mind that volcanos are a secondary product of impact tectonics. 29 August 2025.

Burns Green Obsidian from Glass Butte, Oregon, USA. Between Bend and Burns in Lake County, Oregon lies one of the most famous and freely accessible obsidian sites in the USA.
As you can see that large oval structure is not a volcano. 29 August 2025.
Circular negative for sulfur. Some impacts will paint a negative for a particular distributed mineral. This large sulfur negative area is counter indicated for volcanos. 29 August 2025.
Impact geometric, shock agate/Septarian, conglomerate, impactite. The banding is due to the different frequency's minerals resonate as well as the different conglomerates making up the specimen. Back or reflective resonance made the conformal square. The shock circle is a classic first order resonance expansion. 24 Sept. 2025.

These were found on the Rouge River in Oregon. Any ideas what would make such perfect shapes in the first one?
