WitrynaImpactites represent unique lithologies formed as the result of hypervelocity impact events on terrestrial planetary bodies (Stöffler and Grieve, 2007).The nature and emplacement of impactites are unequivocally related to the shock dynamics (e.g., size of the impactor), type of environment (oceanic vs. continental), and the target … Witryna"Impactites" refer generally to materials that have been produced by meteorite impacts, including melted rocks, shocked minerals, shatter cones, and flaegle. Samples of rock containing spherule layers from giant impacts like Chicxulub (66 million years ago) and Chesapeake Bay (35.5 Ma) are also in the collection.

Witrynai. A vesicular, glassy to finely crystalline material produced by fusion or partial fusion of target rock by the heat generated from the impact of a large meteorite, and occurring in and around the resulting crater, typically as individual bodies composed of mixtures of melt and rock fragments, often with traces of meteoritic material; a rock ... WitrynaOf all impactites, tektites are probably the most familiar to the average rockhound. Commonly seen at gem and mineral shows worldwide, tektites are usually black and glassy, quite similar in appearance to terrestrial obsidian, but with tiny crater-like features on their surfaces. They appear in a variety of shapes including spheres, drops ... chivalrous traduction

WitrynaBasically, the impactites are subdivided into three principal groups: shocked rocks – impact melt rocks – impact breccias. Most woolly and geologically least significant is the newly introduced term of the … Witryna4 lut 2010 · Abstract— An important and poorly understood group of rocks found in the ancient lunar highlands is called “feldspathic granulitic impactites.” Rocks of the granulite suite occur at most of the Apollo highlands sites as hand samples, rake samples, clasts in breccias, and soil fragments. Witryna15 wrz 2024 · The lack of vegetation and extensive soils in this environment means that the physical and chemical characteristics of the impactites dominate the behavior and distribution of surface microbial communities (Cockell et al.,2005). Thus, the effects of impact metamorphism are clearly seen on the present-day microbial communities and … chivalrous treatment
