Deborah V Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi All, Yesterday I had the opportunity to go fulgarite hunting. For those who are not familiar with the term, a fulgarite forms as the result of a lightning strike on quartz sand. I'm sure that some in this group will contend that a fulgarite is not a fossil but others consider it as evidence of a lightning strike. The only problem is that it is very difficult to date a fulgarite. Anyway, check out my photo below and I hope that you like what you see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doushantuo Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've never heard of them,but once i wanted to post the next piece. I think the authors use the "alternative fact " spelling. paitsrep30586.pdf I believe lightning can induce shocked lamellae as well. Phyllosilicates just can't handle stress,the weaklings Very nice finds,Deb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
