Abstract
PETROGRAPHIC studies of rocks from meteorite craters and experimental work have shown that shock waves induce characteristic deformation and transformation phenomena in quartz and feldspar. To obtain information about shock effects in mafic minerals, we have started experiments on olivine (Mg,Fe)2SiO4, and report here our first results.
