Breakup of Pangea - Display Card
This specimen is a polished diabase fragment from the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province deposits of Eastern North America. Similar to the specimen in the Acrylic version of the Mini Museum, but much larger, the item is affixed to an informational card that includes the Mini Museum Seal of Authenticity.
The source rock was donated by the Luck Stone quarry adjacent to the Manassas U.S. Civil War battlefield in Northern Virginia. The quarry is a magnificent location where it is possible to clearly see one of the rift valleys that tore through the ancient supercontinent and might once have become the Atlantic Ocean.
