The shock metamorphism of 47 H group chondrites (H-chondrites) from the Grove Mountains including undulatory extinction, planar fractures, mosaic extinction, shock veins and pockets, and dendritic eutectic metal-sulfide, is observed through optical microscope. The textures and assemblages of shock v...
