Microscopic analysis of sandstones from the southern Libyan Desert Glass (LDG) strewn field reveals a sequence of progressive deformation features which range from unaffected rock to extreme brecciation. The quartz grains show a wide range of deformation features: crushing and fracturing, undulatory extinction, mosaicism, oriented cleavage, partial isotropization and apparent multiple sets of planar deformation features (PDF). This preliminary report provides a first description of shock indicators, typical for hypervelocity impact, in bedrock material that is assumed to be related to the Libyan Desert Glass.
