The catastrophic disruption of an asteroid with a carbonaceous chondrite structure was simulated by impacting a rock target with a high-speed projectile. The preliminary results suggest that such asteroids might preferentially overproduce olivine-rich debris at the size scale of the chondrule and that olivines might be underrepresented in the debris at substantially smaller sizes.
