Glass beads found inside fossil clams in a Florida quarry could be evidence of ancient meteorite strikes in the area, researchers say
Glass beads were found inside fossil clams in a Florida quarry, and researchers believe that they're the first particle evidence of ancient meteorite strikes in the area.
The tiny glass beads are called microtektites. They form when objects like meteorites strike the ground and spray molten debris into the air that then cools and falls to Earth in crystallized form. Dozens of the beads were found in fossil clams at a Sarasota Country quarry. This is the first time microtektites were found in Florida and may even be the first instance of their discovery inside fossil shells, the researchers said.
