Shock metamorphism of planetary silicate rocks and sediments: Proposal for an updated classification system

TL;DR: In this paper, a unified and updated system of progressive shock metamorphism is proposed for impactites derived from silicate rocks and sediments, which are classified into four major classes: crystalline, mafic, chondritic, ultramafic and sedimentary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical projectile–target interaction and liquid immiscibility in impact glass from the Wabar craters, Saudi Arabia

TL;DR: In this paper, petrography and microchemistry of impact glasses from the Wabar impact craters (Saudi Arabia) are reported, with an age of ∼300 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Petrogenesis of main group pallasite meteorites based on relationships among texture, mineralogy, and geochemistry

TL;DR: In this paper, a reassessment of the literature shows that low-MnO and high-FeO subgroups preferentially host rounded olivine and low-temperature P2O5-rich phases such as the Mg-phosphate farringtonite and phosphoran olivines, indicating that the core-mantle boundary of their planetesimal may not be a simple interface but rather a volume in which interactions between metal, silicate, and other components occur.
