Anne...I too wasn't convinced of the backside being a slickenside, but the photo reflection makes it tough to see. If it is dark and shiny then the feature is likely a shock plane, similar to Carancas, Chelyabinsk, etc. and NOT a slickenside.

I agree John. You want a comment, here is one, I don't quite see that back side as being a slickenside. For comparison look at the pictures of the Zag published on 9/15/2015.

Thanks for your first submission Ron...and don't be alarmed by a lack of comments. I've had plenty of "shutout submissions" without comment, as have everyone else. I wish more comments were made here on a consistent basis, especially from the Facebook folks who love to make comments...except on this page/site, other than a few folks.
