Laboratory experiments were carried out on shock-emplaced gases from Servilleta basalt samples that contained gas-filled cavities to answer the following questions: (1) what is the role of shock melting in trapping gases; (2) how are the glassy pockets that contain trapped gases formed; and (3) are the gases trapped in laboratory shocked basalts sited similarly to, and emplaced with the same efficiency as, the gases in the EETA 79001 shergottite? Noble gases were extracted by stepped combustion and crushing followed by shock at 40 GPa, and were analyzed for abundances. Results obtained indicate that noble gases trapped from internal cavities of shock-exposed basalt are associated with glass and are sited predominantly in microvesicles, with a significant fraction of the gases released by crushing. The presence of gas-filled cavities prior to shock results in substantially greater shock effects locally. Thus, glassy pockets similar to those seen in EETA 79001 can be produced in situ within a matrix shocked to only moderate pressures. However, the siting of the gases points to a more complex scenario.
