Fairly soft -- both light matrix and darker clasts are scratched by a penny Similar appearing erratic near Fowler, Indiana. Both resemble specimens from Sudbury, but are not glassy. Middle specimen resembles a melt glass breccia -- the matrix is extremely fine grained -- just short of being 'glassy'. Specimen on the right resembles the hydrothermal 'breach' from France. Front row, second from the left resembles fall-back breccia (onaping) from Sudbury. Sudbury Breccias? The matrix does not have the appearance of 'typical' tillite. Several of these specimens were collected from the landscape rock near Covenant Hospital in Urbana. Click on the photo for pictures of the Sudbury Breccia Erratic near Fowler, Indiana.
