Flynn Creek impact structure
This rock face exhibits striations, running diagonally from upper left to lower right. These striations are called slickensides. They represent the actual plane of a fault with the grooves and striations being caused by two blocks of rock rubbing against one another as they moved. Flynn Creek impact crater contains many faults in the existing bedrock, created by the intense, hypervelocity impact.
