Estimation of shock degrees of eucrites using X-ray diffraction and petrographic methods
We examined the shock effects on 12 basaltic and 4 cumulate eucrites, using the petrographic and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. Petrographic and XRD measurements were conducted on the same polished sections of the eucrites. On the basis the ranges of undulatory extinction angles and occurrence of...
