About 435 mineral species have been identified in meteorites including native elements,
metals and metallic alloys, carbides, nitrides and oxynitrides, phosphides, silicides, sulfides …

Hypervelocity impacts are among the fundamental phenomena occurring during the
evolution of the solar system and are characterized by instantaneous ultrahigh pressure and …

Shock waves have played an important role in the history of virtually all meteorites. All
models of the early solar system invoke condensation of mineral grains, aggregation of …

Heavily shocked meteorites contain various types of high‐pressure polymorphs of major
minerals (olivine, pyroxene, feldspar, and quartz) and accessory minerals (chromite and Ca …

We investigated the transfer of meteorites from Mars to Earth with a combined mineralogical
and numerical approach. We used quantitative shock pressure barometry and …

The goal of classifying shock metamorphic features in meteorites is to estimate the
corresponding shock pressure conditions. However, the temperature variability of shock …

The accretion of the terrestrial planets from asteroid collisions and the delivery to the Earth of
martian and lunar meteorites has been modelled extensively,. Meteorites that have …

Raman spectroscopy contributed greatly in the past 30 years or so for the advances of our
understanding of Earth and planetary materials and their associated geological processes …

High-pressure minerals in meteorites provide clues for the impact processes that excavated,
launched and delivered these samples to Earth. Most Martian meteorites are suggested to …

Shergottites and Chassignites practiced major deformation effects whose nature, magnitude
and relevance were controversially evaluated and disputatively debated. Our studies of …
