Portions of the Gao‐Guenie H5 chondrite that fell in Burkina Faso in 1960 are impact‐melted. Left: high‐resolution color scan of thin section; right: refl ected light image (mosaic) of thin section. On pp. 1022–1045, Martin Schmieder et al. interpret the Gao‐Guenie impact melt breccia (image) as a sample from a melt injection dike in the basement of an impact crater, generated during an impact event on an H chondrite asteroid ~300 million years ago.
