A detailed TEM investigation of the fine structure of planar deformation features (PDFs) in quartz grains within which shock metamorphism has been detected optically and which originate from various sites is presented. PDFs appear on TEM micrographs as straight and very narrow bands, either glassy or crystalline. In the latter case some bands are microtwins while others contain a very high density of dislocations. A mixture of both configurations was noted in the form of thin layers of partially disorganized crystal, some containing short dislocation segments, while others appeared to be very fine microcrystalline material embedded in a glassy matrix. It is suggested that such contrasting microstructures reflect different shock scenarios.
