Comments

Got a quick view of a natural that occurred in Bonkers. Definitely looked to have broken into some deeper layers, but couldn't see clear enough to tell if it was down to the basal facets. Crown was below the ridge, and broke around a convex shaped rocky area. Good bit of debris to mid runout.
