What is Nördlinger Ries Crater Flädle Impact Glass?

Formed during the mid-Miocene period, Flädle is a unique geological material created by the massive impact that struck what is now Germany. The term "Flädle" derives from the German word for flatbread, reflecting its unique, flattened appearance. This extraordinary material underwent intense heating, ejection, and rapid cooling after being flung into the atmosphere, ultimately raining back to Earth in a spectacular fashion. Its formation involved stretching and reshaping as it plunged back to the surface.

Special Features of Flädle

A defining feature of suevite rock, Flädle is often referred to as an impact glass bomb; due to its composition, which primarily consists of fully melted crystalline basement rock. Its distinctive twisting and turning shapes make it one of the most visually captivating geological impact materials available.
