Experimentally Shock‐Induced Melt Veins in Basalt: Improving the Shock Classification of Eucrites

Experimentally Shock‐Induced Melt Veins in Basalt: Improving the Shock Classification of Eucrites

Abstract Basaltic rocks occur widely on the terrestrial planets and differentiated asteroids, including the asteroid 4 Vesta. We conducted a shock recovery experiment with decaying compressive pulses on a terrestrial basalt at the Chiba Institute of Technology, Japan. The sample recorded a range of...
