Shock Metamorphism in Ordinary Chondrites: Constraining Pressure and Temperature History

abstract: Shock metamorphism in meteorites constrains the impact histories of asteroids and planets. Shock-induced high-pressure (HP) minerals can provide more precise estimates of shock conditions than shock-induced deformation effects. In this research, I use shock features, particularly HP minera...
