I have a new meteorite (found in Morocco 2019) probably H-type IMB. This impact melt breccia is being classified at the moment, and I see some structures that could look like shatter cones – with reference to the MPOD of Jan. 1st. 2020. See the green lines in photo 2.

I am also interested in a discussion about the possibility of scatter cones in meteorites. This one for sure had a severe collision out there.
