Scientific paper

The rotation of fragments produced by catastrophic impacts into basalt
targets was investigated using framing camera records taken by Fujiwara
and Tsukamoto (1980). Most of the cores have low rotation rates, of the
order 1 rev sec or less. Many spall fragments have high rotation rates
in the strong shear field produced in the target material by impact.
