Polymict impact breccia (3D recon)

Pseudocolored 3D reconstructions of suevite LB-39c from the Bosumtwi Crater, Ghana. Matrix is red, rock clasts are yellow/orange and melt clasts (and edge of sample) are blue/green. Looking down on the sample: (top) all phases fully opaque; (middle) groundmass matrix rendered transparent; (bottom) groundmass and glassy clasts rendered transparent, showing 3D distribution of rock clasts.
