Scientific paper

Evidence for shock metamorphism on the moon is elucidated. Lunar shocked minerals of plagioclase and silica show anomalous compositions and densities. There are two typical formation processes in planetary materials formed by shock events: shocked quartz formed by silica-rich target rocks, and shocked silica with minor Al contents formed from plagioclase-rich primordial crusts of the moon.
