"Pseudocod"

Recrystallized Quartz Grain
in Crystalline-Clast Breccia
with Melt Matrix

M-1 Core - 377 feet

Dark brown matrix is melt-rock.
This is probably a quartz grain melted by the impact and stretched to form a boudin before recrystallization. The name "pseudocod" comes from the feature's similar appearance to fossil ostracods
