Scientific paper

Majorite has been observed for the first time after experimental shock-loading of enstatite (Bamle, Norway). The identification of this high pressure garnet has been carried out by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction experiments. Majorite formation was indicated by these techniques for the pressure range between about 35 and 50 GPa. This also proves formation of majorite by impact metamorphosis in the Coorara meteorite as well as terrestrial formation of that phase by the same process.
