A sliced glass bomb from the Ries Crater, Germany. Impactite

From Wikipedia:
The depression is interpreted as a meteor impact crater formed about 14.3 million–14.5 million years ago in the Miocene. The original crater rim had an estimated diameter of 24 kilometers (15 mi). The present floor of the depression is about 100 to 150 m (330 to 490 ft) below the eroded remains of the rim.
