Impact: Studying a kaolin
mine, UGA scientists identify layer
of material ejected from Chesapeake Bay meteor strike
People in Georgia’s Dodge and Bleckley counties have for
years picked up small pieces of natural glass called “Georgiaites”
which were produced by an unknown asteroid or comet impact millions
of years ago. Just where these small, translucent green objects
came from, however, was unclear.
Now UGA researchers studying a kaolin mine in Warren County
have found a layer of small grains which indicate both the grains
and the Georgiaites were products of a recently discovered impact
that left a huge crater beneath the waters of Chesapeake Bay. |
