The visited area is located along the west-coast of SW-Australia near the town Margaret River. The Gravity Anomaly Map indicates that along this section of the coast the massive Ejecta-Ray R4 (caused by the Permian-Triassic-Crater) impacted in a very short distance and formed this coast-line. According to my Permian-Triassic Impact (PTI) Hypothesis this powerful Ejecta-Ray R4, which probably was caused by the leading-edge of the right ejecta-wing of the PTI, cut through Earth’s crust and in that way it separated (cut-off) the Australian Plate and the Indian Plate, from the African Plate. In the classic plate tectonics theory this would mean: Ejecta-Ray R4 was a (the) major cause of the break-up of Pangea ! After the PTI-Impact Event, the Australian Plate and the Indian Plate slowly drifted away from the African Plate in eastern- & north-eastern direction, as the ocean-floor-age map indicates. For a detailed description of the Permian-Triassic Impact (PTI) Hypothesis please read Part 1 of my PTI-hypothesis. I have collected some rock-samples along the coast-line in the Margaret River area, which is located close to the original course of Eject-Ray R4. Therefore shock-metamorpic effects caused by Ejecta-Ray R4 should be present in rocks from this coastal-area, which are older than 250 myr. And indeed they are ! The Raman spectra of quartz from the sample-sites 2, 4, 5 and 7-B collected along the coast in the Margaret River area provide first evidence for an impact (shock) event caused by Ejecta-Ray R4. The shifts of the main Raman peaks, of analysed quartz from sample-site 5, to the lower frequencies 463, 258/264, 126 cm-1 is a clear indication for an impact shock-event. Further indication comes from analysed quartz-grains from the sample-sites 2, 4 and 7-B which show shifts of main Raman-peaks to the lower frequencies 204, 125 cm-1 ; 261, 125 cm-1 and 260/267, 126 cm-1 and 263, 126 cm-1. Further indication comes from Microscopic images of quartz from sample site 7-B (from Cape Leeuwin) which seems to indicate PDFs (planar deformation features), see microscopic-Images on page 7 & 10. Microscopic images of analysed quartz grains from the sites 2, 4 and 5 may provide further proof (pages 3 to 11). All spectra were made with a BRUKER Senterra-II Raman-Microscope. Images of the analysed rock-samples and photos of the sample-sites: see Appendix 1, page 16. References: see page 22
