Suevite impactites

Suevites are a type of terrestrial rock that formed during a meteorite impact event. They consist of angular fragments of native stones (breccia) that have sintered together due to a meteorite impact. They can be monomict or polymict depending on whether they have one or several types of stones within them. They are named after the Swabia province in Germany, where suevites were found near the Ries crater. Learn more
