has anyone got a meteorite example with pressure cracks from a glacier? Or does someone know if it is possible for an ancient achondrite fall from the ice age to have pressure cracks on the weathered surface? Are the any antarctic meteorite with scars from glaciers? lot of questions.
 
I live in the glaciated part of IL and have hunted the glacial till for 40 yrs. I’ve never stumbled upon a meteorite. Many of the igneous rocks have marks from the glacier. These are usually lines scraped into the rocks. There are also many that are broken violently. As far as cracks, many of the igneous rocks have internal cracks. Some are visible from the outside, some are hidden and show up when I carve into them. I’m not sure if the glacier caused the cracks or if they were present before the glacier moved them.
