Aumühle quarry: Bunte Breccia and Suevite 1
Ries Meteorite Crater Geopark.
Exposure of Bunte Breccia (purple-grey) and Suevite (pale grey) in the Aumühle quarry near Oettingen located near the centre of the crater.
Suevite is formed from the fallout of the partially melted and vaporised ejecta debris shot high into the atmosphere as a result of the meteorite impact when temperatures and pressures almost instantaneously reached 20,000°C and several million bar.
Bunte Breccia is formed from discrete rock masses deposited as a coherent ejecta blanket following the meteorite impact.
