Here a summary of the Raman-spectroscopic analysis a of rock-samples which I have collected near the Ø13.5 x 10 km “Ajuy-Impact-Crater“ on Fuerteventura, and on other interesting sites on this Island. Some of the analysed feldspar-samples may show Raman-spectra which indicate (W)-weakly-shocked or (M)-moderately-shocked Alkali-Feldspar. These are feldspar-samples from the following sample-sites No.: 21-A, 35-A, 45-B, 45-D & 56-A (an explanation to Raman-spectra of shocked Alkali-Feldspar: see at page 38 in the Appendix-3) Beside possible shocked feldspar minerals other minerals found on the island may also indicate an impact event. On sample-site 35-A, a small rock island on the south-west coast of Fuerteventure, which probably represents ejecta-material of the Ajuy Crater, the mineral Uranpyrochlore was found. And on sampe-sites 45 & 48 fragments of old oceanic sediments (>100 Myr old !) embedded in magmatic rocks were found. This mix of magmatic-rocks and old Earth-crust-fragments may also be an indication for an impact event, because it seems to represent ejecta material from the Ajuy Crater. Further rare-earth metals are present in the described ejecta-impact-areas near Ajuy. Other minerals found in the analysis : Albite, Annite, Augite, Aegirine, Corvusite, Coronadite, Dolomite, Flourophlogopite, Kutnohorite, Labradorite, Reyerite, Siderite, Sonolite, Titanite, Tengerite etc. Please see also: Lanzarote Impact Event. (Images of the analysed rock samples and photos of the sample-sites are in the Appendix at page 32) According to my hypothesis the hot spots which caused the Canary Islands originally were impact sites of large ejecta fragments, which were ejected from the Permian Triassic Impact Crater in the Arctic Sea. And I am sure that these impact sites (hot spots) were produced by the same large-scale secondary impact event (caused by the PTI), which also has formed the "Bay of Lyon Crater" and other impact structures in Spain. This large-scale impact event is visible on the Gravity-Anomaly Map of the Canarian Islands. The PT-Impact Event probably formed a large secondary-crater, the hypothetical Ø430x290km Gibraltar-Crater (GIC) (see gravity anomaly map). The smaller oblique (ellipitical) impact-craters indicated on this Gravity-Anomaly-map, offshore of Fuerteventura, Lanzarote and Tenerife, belong to this impact-event and are located along the hypothetical crater-wall (-rim) of the GIC. A magnetic-anomaly-map of the Atlantic-Ocean-floor south-west of Spain provides indication for this Ø430x290km Gibraltar Crater. (see the explanation on pages 28 & 29 of my PT-Impact-Hypothesis Part-2.
