Material ejects from the valleys in an uneven surface as the meteorite is striking the surface.

It's hard for me to fathom the, for want of a better term, rank stupidity and incompetence of scientists failing to consider such a basic variable as the surface being impacted. But they're human just like everyone else--a reminder for the next time "scientists" and "experts" get too big for their britches.

Can I have $150,000.00 a year to drop balls into pans of beads or sand? I’d like one of those nifty labcoats and free pizza and soda too.

*Dropping balls into a container of sand...

Up the speed which would still be marginal to a space object impact:

Fire a 150 gr 300 Win Mag into sandstone and study that.

Wear safety glasses.

They would have better success firing various projectiles like rock, marbles, uneven rocks, steel nuts, etc from a slingshot into sand. Just dropping them is too slow.
