as you can see in both photos there are a couple darker layers but a thin line cuts it and it has shifted. My guess is a transform boundary like a mini version of the San Andreas fault in California but I am unsure on if it can happen in a rock this small. It obviously happened a long time ago because the rock has smoothed out. So I guess my question is how did this happen? It was found in some landscaping rocks in arapahoe county Colorado

From the album: Invertebrates and plants(& misc.)
Debris, including micro glass "beads" from melted earth ejected into the air, from the KT boundary burn layer. Garfield county, Montana, Hell Creek formation. Late cretaceous (duh) *i added "misc." to this album because this didn't fit anywhere, and I thought it was really cool and should definitely be included somewhere. **There could even be vaporized dinosaur material as part of the glass and melted debris included. There definitely was plenty of it, but I guess realistically, unless it became evenly spread into the atmosphere and airborne debris, this is too small an amount of ejecta, and by percentage such a minuscule amount of vaporized dino, so sadly there probably isn't any.
