Matthias writes:
3 samples of neolithic tools (3.5 - 7.5 g), the third one including dark dust as a remnant of the asteroid.

In contrast to the Noerdlinger Ries impact which produced the beautiful Moldavites, the asteroid which most probably exploded in the atmosphere above today's Great Sandsea region about 30 Mill. years ago, obviously did not form a crater. But it left behind a richness of different types (in color, transparency, content) of the likewise beautiful LDG. It is especially fascinating to see how human interest in this extraordinary matter continues through time. The LDG was formed to tools (blades, scrapers, arrowheads, spearheads etc.) in the neolithc period c. 6-10.000 years ago, and it adorned the center of Tut anch Amuns legendary necklace centrally as a scarab.

As for the absence of an impact crater, J.T. Wasson and other scientists suggest that an aerial burst, similar to Tunguska but about 10^4 x larger, may have been responsible.
