Craters were generated by micrometer-size, thin-walled hollow glass spheres impacting glass and stainless steel targets to determine morphological features distinguishing craters formed by hollow spheres from those formed by solid projectiles. The craters formed in both targets differed from those formed by solid spherical projectiles in that the central pit is an annular rather than a cup-shaped depression. The existence of an annular crater morphology on a surface exposed to cosmic dust would indicate the presence of thin-walled hollow spherules. Penetrations of thin-walled hollow glass beads by high velocity, solid, micrometer-size spheres are characterized by inward and outward flowing lips showing asymmetries dependent on the angle of impact.
