Scientific paper

Hematite-magnetite+/-ilmenite grains, aggregates, and clusters are occasionally present in irghizites (~0.01 %). It is likely that they represent shocked and thermally recrystallized hematite from the Zhamanshin target loess. Degrees of alteration range from texturally intact hematite grains with ilmenite exsolution lamellae over thermally decomposed single grains (now polycrystalline with various grain-sizes) to clusters of magnetite grains and needles in silicate glass. Local post-shock conditions varied, but fairly low peak temperatures (1700-1800 degrees C) are indicated by the survival of oxide grains.
