Yanzhuang Meteorite: Mineralogy and Shock Metamorphism

Více o knize

Focusing on the Yanzhuang chondrite, this book delves into its mineralogy and the effects of shock using advanced experimental techniques like SEM, TEM, and Raman spectroscopy. It provides a detailed analysis of the micro-structural and chemical properties of the minerals. The findings reveal that Yanzhuang is the most heavily shocked ordinary H group chondrite discovered, containing a significant amount of shock-induced melt, surpassing all other known shock-melt-bearing chondritic meteorites.
