Abstract
Shatter cones that point steeply upward are present in abundance over an area >100 km{sup 2} in Belt Supergroup sandstone outcrops in Beaverhead County, southwestern Montana. Crushed sandstone with fragments dispersed in a fluidal textured, cryptocrystalline matrix of similar chemical composition has also been found. Absence of cones in adjacent units of Mississippian and younger are suggests a late Precambrian-early Paleozoic age for the formation of this newly discovered impact structure, only a small part of which is preserved in the complexly faulted terrain.
