This formation was discovered at 01-08-2001 and reported by Hans Hesselink and
Roel Toering, but is
approx. a week old.
Report from Robert Boerman and
Jan Willem Bobbink.
We had almost no time to finish the report of the Vledderhuizen formation, or we received
another phonecall from Roel Toering. 'Come over here, we've got another formation near
Stadskanaal' were his words on the phone. And so we went for the second time this week to
Stadskanaal.
The formation was a week old when we entered the field. The person who discovered this
formation, saw it a week ago, but reported it after a week. The formation looks a bit the
same as the one which was found in the UK in 1994.
We found some nice details like cut off grass and wheat stalks and some blown nodes. A special
detail is that at the border of the large central ring, was laying in grass. The wheat was laying
under the grass and some stinging nettles which stands at the border of the formation had some
burned leafs. We took some samples to send to the BLT research team for more research.
'Burned' stinging nettle leaf?
